Advocacy requires a long-term commitment and sustained effort to educate legislators and their staff about issues well before bills are written. Frequently, they need to be reintroduced over multiple sessions, and sometimes for many years, before they gain traction and are passed into law. CGP has renewed our efforts over the last two years to remain active year-round, promoting a positive environment for charitable gift planning and advocating for philanthropic freedom as a cornerstone of our civil society. 

To learn more about what can be most impactful to your organizations and donors, CGP has launched its 2026 Summer Advocacy Survey. 

We want to understand what your priorities are so we can inform legislative offices about the issues that matter most to you. By establishing a strong foundation of education and advocacy on these issues now, legislators will be informed and prepared to support our efforts when legislative opportunities arise. 

Working together, we can expand opportunities for charitable gift planning to increase support for your organizations. If you're interested in joining our advocacy efforts, become a CGP Advocate and help promote charitable gift planning and strengthen the nonprofit sector.
