Planned Giving Council of Middle Tennessee
The PGCMT is an affiliated Council of the National Association of Charitable Gift Planners
The PGCMT invites companies, financial services organizations and individuals in the Middle Tennessee region to partner with us in advancing the philanthropic community and the work of our respective professionals. Our Partners in Philanthropy sponsors help us strengthen our membership by expanding our outreach in the middle Tennessee region and ensuring the excellence of our programs.
Together, we are strengthening philanthropy, our communities and our region.
Mission: The Planned Giving Council of Middle Tennessee exists to increase the quality and quantity of charitable planned gifts by serving as the voice and professional resource for the gift planning community in Middle Tennessee.
Our Goals: Our goal is to provide educational and networking forums for major gift and annual fund officers, charitable gift planners, nonEprofit leaders, estate attorneys and financial services professionals to enhance the philanthropy in Middle Tennessee, thereby contributing to our robust and vibrant community through our many nonEprofit organizations. Our monthly luncheon programs provide diverse educational programs targeted for this broad audience, including technical skills, the latest information about charitable tax laws and a range of topics on engaging major and planned gift donors. We also provide a forum for financial advisers and financial services professionals and professionals from the philanthropic community to interact with each other to advance their respective industries.
PGCMT Membership: Members of PGCMT include development professionals, non-profit leaders, trust and estate attorneys, financial planners, insurance and real estate advisors, accountants, trust officers and other financial service professionals. The PGCMT has approximately 75 active members representing over 40 unique organizations, including law firms, financial service groups, wealth management firms, as well as higher education, performing arts and health care non-profits. Our roster of active members has increased at an average rate of 10% the last several years. Our goal for this year is to continue with this growth to achieve 85 active members with a multi-year goal of reaching 100 active members.
Visibility: PGCMT sends monthly eEblasts to members, prospective members and guests, totaling approximately 400 fundraising and nonEprofit leaders, and estate planning and financial services professionals throughout middle Tennessee.
