Do you know someone who should be celebrated for their contribution and dedication to the mission of CAGP?

Each year the CAGP Board of Directors recognizes individuals who exemplify the spirit and vision of CAGP through the Friend of CAGP Award. This award acknowledges contributions made at the local and national level and which have had a national impact on strategic charitable gift planning.

To be considered for the Friend of CAGP Award, candidates/organizations must meet the following criteria:

  • Have made a significant contribution to the advancement of strategic charitable giving on a local and national scale.
  • Demonstrate an unwavering regard for the professions involved in strategic charitable gift planning;
  • Demonstrate leadership with voluntary service in the sector;
  • Practice and operate in an exemplary and unquestionably ethical manner;
  • Dedicate their energy, vision, time and talent for the benefit of CAGP’s membership.

Special consideration:

  • In consideration of CAGP’s priorities and interests related to diversity, equity and inclusion, candidates who embody consideration for the perspectives, needs or welling of groups that are traditionally underrepresented will be given special consideration.
