CCPG Education and Training Opportunities
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.

Bi-monthly Luncheon Meetings are held in at the University Club in 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. Click here to see full schedule of event dates and times.

The Annual Symposium is held at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The symposium is an all-day event of presentations and seminars on all aspects of planned giving. The symposium is divided into tracks that offer basic information as well as technical training.

Special Programs are designed for beginners, full and part-time planned giving practitioners and highly advanced planned giving specialists. Each program is designed for a particular audience to give each participant a better knowledge of planned giving, both in general and in highly technical areas.
