Feeling ADRIFT about RIFT (Release IRA Funds Timely)? Join estate-planning attorney Johni Hays, JD, leader of the national RIFT Project, for a timely and practical overview of this important initiative.

RIFT is designed to address delays and barriers that often prevent nonprofits from receiving retirement assets designated as charitable gifts. Johni has led the development of model legislation and practical tools to help streamline these transfers and ensure donor intent is fulfilled more efficiently.

In this session, you’ll learn what sparked the RIFT movement, how it is gaining traction at both the state and federal levels, and why it matters for nonprofits, advisors, and donors alike. You’ll also receive updates on current activity in Kansas and Missouri, along with insights into what may be coming next.

Whether you’re a nonprofit professional or an advisor working with charitable clients, this session will provide valuable context and actionable takeaways to help you navigate IRA charitable gifts with greater confidence and clarity.
