Vancouver Island is home to 50 First Nations that make up three distinct cultural families: Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth and Kwakwaka'wakw. The CAGP Vancouver Island Chapter acknowledges with respect that its members live, learn and work on the sacred, ancestral, and unceded territories of these distinct and independent nations whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
Connecting professionals. Advancing philanthropy. Creating lasting impact.
The CAGP Vancouver Island Chapter brings together charitable fundraisers, professional advisors, and philanthropic leaders who share a commitment to helping donors make meaningful contributions to the causes they care about. Through education, collaboration, and networking, we support excellence in charitable gift planning and foster a culture of generosity across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.
Whether you are new to the field or a seasoned professional, our chapter provides opportunities to learn from experts, build valuable connections, and stay informed about emerging trends and best practices in gift planning. Our events and educational programs create space for meaningful conversations, professional growth, and the sharing of ideas that strengthen our sector.
Together, we are building a community of professionals dedicated to helping individuals create lasting legacies and supporting charities in achieving their missions for generations to come.
We invite you to join us, attend an event, connect with fellow members, and become part of a growing network committed to advancing philanthropy throughout our region.
Learn. Connect. Inspire Generosity.
