About Us - Ottawa RoundTable


Our Mission

National Perspective - Enriching Canadian Philanthropy Through Awareness, Education & Advocacy

Established in 1993, the Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP-ACPDP™) supports philanthropy by fostering the development and growth of gift planning in Canada. The CAGP-ACPDP™ creates awareness, provides education and is an advocate of charitable giving.

The CAGP-ACPDP™ brings together professionals from various disciplines to ensure that the gift planning process achieves a fair and proper balance between the interests of donors and the aims and objectives of registered charitable organizations in Canada in accordance with the CAGP-ACPDP™ Code of Ethics.

Local Network – Connecting Ottawa’s Gift Planners

The CAGP-ACPDP™ Ottawa RoundTable works within the region of Ottawa to create awareness of and promote charitable giving, to develop and deliver education and professional development programming for local gift planners, and to foster a strong professional and social network of fellow gift planners in our community who share CAGP-ACPDP™’s mission and guiding principles.

Our Members

A gift planner works with both donors and charities to achieve maximum benefit for each party from a charitable gift.

The CAGP-ACPDP™ is open to individuals responsible for gift planning programs of registered charitable organizations or foundations, fundraising consultants and a wide variety of professional advisors including lawyers, accountants, financial planners, life insurance representatives, trust officers and other professionals who accept and abide by the code of ethics and professional practices of their respective fields and those of the CAGP-ACPDP™.
