You are invited to join the Chicago Council on Planned Giving.

• first-rate educational programs tailored to the needs of planned-giving officers and allied professionals;
• a forum for discussion of planned giving issues with fellow professionals from the Chicago metropolitan area; and
• Model Standards of Practice that provide an ethical framework for planned giving. Click here to read the Model Standards of Practice before registering online.

We are introducing a change to our membership registration and dues payment process. Many of you are aware of the Chicago Council on Planned Giving’s long-time affiliation with the Partnership for Philanthropic Planning (PPP), previously known as the National Committee on Planned Giving. As a member council, CCPG is able to take advantage of a number of complimentary services provided by PPP. One of those services is to handle the membership registration and dues payment process for local councils such as ours.

With this new system, you will have three options:

(1) join CCPG only for $95 per year
(2) join PPP only for $160 per year
(3) join both organizations for the discounted rate of $215 per year

Because many of our members are also members of PPP, we are pleased to be able to offer this discounted dual membership at a savings of $40.

Moving forward, your membership will be renewable based on anniversary date of your last dues payment, not on a calendar year basis. You will receive a reminder notice and form leading up to your renewal date each year and you will have ample opportunity to renew your membership prior to its expiration. Please note that your membership in CCPG (and PPP, if you choose to join PPP) is an individual membership so it travels with you regardless of your place of employment.
