Partnership for Philanthropic Planning

The North Carolina Planned Giving Council (NCPGC) is a non-profit organization created in 1989, bringing together charitable gift planning professionals to: 

• Promote planned giving
• Advance the education and professional expertise of council members, and
• Encourage networking and support among its members.

By so doing, NCPGC members are better able to serve our clients and the charitable institutions they support.

Our membership includes fundraisers from a variety of academic, religious, health, cultural and social organizations. Consultants and advisors such as attorneys, accountants, financial and estate planners, trust administrators and investment and insurance specialists are also members.
