About Us

Middle Tennessee is a partner council of the National Association of Charitable Gift Planners (CGP), the professional association for those whose work involves developing, marketing, administering and advising charitable planned gifts. Originally created in 1988 as the National Committee on Planned Giving (NCPG), the National Association of Charitable Gift Planners (CGP) is a 501(c)(3) public charity whose mission is to help people and organizations create charitable giving experiences that are the most meaningful in achieving both charitable mission and the philanthropic, financial, family and personal goals of the donor.

CGP achieves its mission through research, education, advocacy, community dialogue and the setting of standards and best practices in philanthropic planning. CGP strives to engage all constituents in the charitable gift planning process: planned giving and major gifts professionals, nonprofit managers and trustees, financial and estate planners, trust managers and administrators.

Affluent and generous donors call upon their professional advisors and charitable planners to help them create gifts for the causes they love …savvy gifts that will make the biggest impact on the charity at the lowest cost to the donor. More often than not, these conversations involve a member of the Planned Giving Council of Middle Tennessee. Our organization’s members collectively hold the most comprehensive knowledge and deepest experience in the complex field of charitable gift planning.
