Welcome to the North Saskatchewan Chapter!
Our Chapter hosts educational breakfast and lunch meetings for fundraising professionals to connect with each other 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. Meetings are generally free of charge for our CAGP Chapter members. Members also get a discounted rate for special workshop fees. Please note: the majority of our meetings for 2020-2021 will be taking place online.
The North Saskatchewan Chapter also runs a LEAVE A LEGACY™ program to encourage people to leave a gift through their will or other planned giving method to a charity or non-profit organization of their choice. May is LEAVE A LEGACY™ month so the majority of our activities for this program fall in this month, including our annual LEAVE A LEGACY™ luncheon. We are very grateful to the many organizations that support the LEAVE A LEGACY™ program in our community.
If you have any questions about our Chapter, please contact Melissa Mann, Chair at 306-966-5175 or melissa.mann@usask.ca

"CAGP has made more major contributions to the development of charitable tax incentives and charitable policy in Canada than any other professional organization. The Government and public servants view CAGP as a knowledgeable, balanced, and credible voice on philanthropy and charities, especially charitable giving issues.
"Becoming a member of CAGP has been one of the best business and personal decisions I've made in my twenty-year career working in financial services. It has resulted in my having much more meaningful conversations with both my clients and prospective clients about their philanthropic goals and the impact they'd like to have on the world. This in turn has enhanced my relationship with them and resulted in magnifying their charitable gifts.
