This includes educational events throughout the year for professionals in the field. As a CAGP member you are valued and welcomed as a strong member of the charitable giving community.
We meet as a Chapter five times a year from September to June. Our meetings for 2020-2021 will be delivered Online hosted by the WindsorEssex Community Foundation http://wecf.ca/.
The Windsor-Essex County Chapter has partnered with Windsor Life Magazine to promote LEAVE A LEGACY month in May. The insert is an opportunity for the Chapter to present the public with information on ways to leave a legacy and talk about some of the ways local donors have helped local organizations through gifts in their estates with the intent of encouraging others to do the same. Local charities and professional advisors are given an opportunity to promote their planned giving programs in the insert.
