Welcome to the Manitoba Chapter!
CAGP Manitoba is the province’s premier organization for planned giving and professional advisors who support their donors and clients to make philanthropic planned and legacy gifts. We’re focused on sharing ideas and teachings, networking, and developing the knowledge of our community in current issues in gift planning. And we’re a fun and supportive bunch of people! As Manitoba’s premier association moving the gift planning conversation forward, we invite you to join us and stay current with developing issues in gift planning today.
The Chapter hosts regular 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.
