Mission and Purpose

The mission of the Charlottesville Area Planned Giving Council is to promote planned giving through education and the association of professionals in both the non-profit and for-profit arena, and to support the local "LEAVE A LEGACY^®" program.

• To provide a forum for communication and a clearinghouse for information about planned giving issues.
• To create and further an awareness of regulatory and legislative issues affecting the non-profit sector (avoiding, of course, all political lobbying for candidates or legislation of any kind at any jurisdictional level).
• To advance the education and professional expertise of CAPGC members.
• To encourage inter-disciplinary interaction of members and other allied professionals.
• To help enhance planned giving as a profession and provide mutual support to the National Committee on Planned Giving (NCPG), of which the CAPGC is a chapter member council.
• To sponsor the Thomas Jefferson Area LEAVE A LEGACY program in accordance with the direction of NCPG.
