About The National Association of Charitable Gift Planners

CGP has grown with and for the charitable gift planning industry. From think tank conversations, to a federation of local councils, to a professional organization, we've evolved to serve members nationwide. Together, we build a bold future of smarter giving and bigger impact.

Find the resources you need when you need them

The CGP Shop allows you to browse through hundreds of educational resources designed specifically for busy charitable gift planners. CGP members enjoy member-only pricing and discounts on all resources. 

The National Association of Charitable Gift Planners (CGP) established the Legacy Circle in 2020 to recognize those individuals who have elected to leave a legacy gift to provide for the long-term sustainability of the organization. These commitments will ensure educational opportunities through endowed scholarship funds and programs as well as general endowment support for CGP. For 35 years, CGP is the recognized leader for setting guidelines, standards, and ethics for the field of charitable gift planning. With the establishment of our Legacy Circle, CGP will continue to shape our profession and philanthropy for generations to come.

In recognition of these visionary leaders, CGP has established a Legacy Circle Charter Member status for all contributors of legacy gifts through December 2021. If you would like to learn more about the Legacy Circle Charter Member campaign please contact Michael Kenyon.
