The Chicago Council on Planned
Giving offers opportunities for planned giving and
development professionals to enhance their knowledge of
planned giving as an important component in the process
of raising significant philanthropic support from
individual donors. In fact, education, along with the
strong emphasis on ethics, forms the basis for CCPG’s
existence.
CCPG provides education and
training through three different forums:
- Bi-monthly luncheon meetings
- An annual symposium, usually held in the late spring
- Special programs designed for various levels of
expertise from beginning to highly technical.

downtown Chicago at 76 East Monroe Street. All meetings
are scheduled on Tuesdays beginning with a very basic
“Nuts and Bolts” section at 10:00am. This section
focuses on one particular aspect of planned giving and
offers a basic explanation of that aspect by a planned
giving expert. The first main speaker begins at 10:30 am
and presents until 11:45am when lunch is served. The
second speaker commences at the end of lunch and the
session is complete by 1:30pm. Continuing education
credits are often provided for various certifications.
However, these credits may vary for each accrediting
agency and may depend on the subject matter being
presented. Please check with your accrediting agencies
regarding each presentation.
