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.
