Carla Long joined Cottage Health in 2004 as Director of Planned Giving to focus on deferred gifts to Cottage’s family of hospitals and affiliated Foundations. Ms. Long works closely with the Cottage development team in soliciting new deferred gifts – trusts, gift annuities, and estate gifts—as well as providing stewardship for those who have already remembered Cottage through an estate or a trust.

Her extensive expertise includes knowledge of donor cultivation, finance and accounting, investing, and real property, all vital to the success of a planned giving program.
