The Vancouver Island Chapter unites gift planning professionals, fundraisers, and charitable organizations on Vancouver Island to help local donors achieve their highest philanthropic goals and wishes.
The Chapter Executive and other member volunteers provide their time and enthusiasm to keep the Chapter active and bring additional value to local members. This includes educational events throughout the year for professionals in the field; social events to involve partners and the public; and Chapter support for national events that are carried out in the region and elsewhere in Canada.
We invite you to register and benefit from any one of our monthly events. As a CAGP member you are valued and welcomed as a strong member of the charitable giving community.

"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.
