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.
