Welcome to the London Chapter!
The London Chapter is one of 19 active CAGP Chapters across Canada helping champion the growth of strategic charitable giving.
Our Chapter unites gift planning professionals (lawyers and financial advisors), fundraisers, and charitable organizations from the region to help local donors achieve their highest philanthropic goals and wishes.
The Chapter Executive volunteers their time and enthusiasm to keep the Chapter active and bring additional value to local members. Besides helping donors, the Executive organizes educational events throughout the year for professionals in the field; social events to involve partners and the public; and provides Chapter support for national events that are carried out in the region and elsewhere in Canada.
We value each and every one of our members as we are only as strong as our community.
