The CAGP Greater Vancouver Chapter’s primary aim is to serve our community of members: fundraisers and professional advisors who support their donors and clients to make philanthropic legacy gifts. We value developing collaborative relationships among those in our sector – to learn together, teach one another and provide wisdom and encouragement in our personal and professional development. And, we love to have a little fun along the way! As the region’s premier association moving the gift planning conversation forward, we invite you to come network, share ideas, and stay current with developing issues in gift planning today.
The Chapter hosts educational meetings where members connect with their colleagues and hear from expert speakers. We encourage anyone with an interest in gift planning to attend our meetings, which will help you to serve your donors or clients better. Members of CAGP are given a discount on the registration fee.

Thank you. We hope to see you at our next meeting.
