ABOUT

The National Association of Charitable Gift Planners is committed to improving the art and science of the charitable gift planning process. We equip members with relevant resources, including guidelines, articles, model documents and samples that help enrich and advance careers. We connect colleagues at all levels through our national network, including those who defined the field. We exist to serve our distinguished profession and bring life to charitable gift planning.

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the CGP Board of Directors unanimously voted to present the 2020 CGP Conference entirely online. The safety of our members must be our top priority. With the continuing widespread presence of the virus, the board determined there was no certainty CGP could safely host an in-person large-scale event in October.

Plans are already underway to present a premier online conference using industry-leading technology and the very latest best practices in successful online meetings. CGP will continue to focus on presenting the highest quality professional development sessions, creating opportunities for networking, and connecting attendees with our exhibitors and sponsors to learn about the latest products and services in our field.

The conference dates of October 7-9 remain the same, though the daily schedule will change. Additional information regarding schedules and fees will be published over the next few weeks. If you have a fiscal year ending  June 30 and are interested in registering under your current year budget, please contact Carey Wilson at cwilson@charitablegiftplanners.org. Carey can provide invoices and process registrations as needed.

Conference Chair Meryl Cosentino, the 2020 Conference Committee, CGP Board of Directors and CGP staff all look forward to presenting a fantastic conference that safely brings our community together to share knowledge, visit with colleagues and make new acquaintances. We hope to see you in October.
