Giving Tuesday | December 1, 2026

The collective dedication of the donors, sponsors, and members has an immeasurable impact on the gift planning sector and CGP community. 

Each story shared and donation made supports the National Association of Charitable Gift Planners' mission to further the industry and opportunities for professionals across the country. 

Ways to Give Back to CGP:

Make a Donation

To every donor, volunteer, and supporter: Thank YOU!
Your support enables CGP to enhance professional development and advocacy efforts, further supporting our members and the gift planning and philanthropic community. 
 

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 has been the recognized leader in setting guidelines, standards, and ethics for the field of charitable gift planning. With the establishment of the Legacy Circle, CGP will continue to shape the profession and philanthropy for generations to come.

Join CGP’s Legacy Circle and support the future of CGP. There is no minimum amount to participate. All contributors of legacy gifts will be recognized for their leadership and commitment to the long-term sustainability of CGP

For additional information about the CGP Legacy Circle, contact Michael Kenyon at mkenyon@charitablegiftplanners.org or download the fillable pdf form.
