With generous support from PGI, CGP is delighted to offer partial tuition waivers to complete the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University’s Certificate in Planned Giving Management. This opportunity is available to current CGP members who might be interested in this opportunity.

The certificate provides the expertise to more effectively manage planned giving programs. Through foundational principles and advanced strategies, fundraising professionals will strengthen their understanding of the technical and non-technical aspects of gift planning.

Members of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP Global), and Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) who are interested in completing the certificate program are also eligible to apply for the partial tuition waiver offered by PGI.

The deadline to apply for the 2026 session is November 30.
