Hello! Inviting you to keep up with SSPGC activities via the webpage at www.sspgcouncil.org Here are some upcoming activities . Join us!

Meetings
All meetings are open to members.

Forward to the Past Brown Bag Lunches. Well over 10 years ago, the South Sound Planned Giving Study Group, the predecessor of the South Sound Planned Giving Council, had brown bad lunches in its members' offices. The purpose was to listen to a presentation made by a member or to hold a general discussion on one or more topics brought up by attendees. We re-instituted these brown bag lunches in 2012 and will continue having them in 2013. Any member may bring up any topic s/he wishes to discuss. Locations will be announced as the date approaches.

Forward to the Past meetings are held from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm at the Donald G. Topping Regional HOPE Center, 3875 South 66th Street; Tacoma. It is immediately next to the Boys and Girls Club facility.

PPP Virtual Seminars are offered at the Pacific Grill Events Center in Tacoma located at 1530 Pacific Avenue. Click here for a detailed description of each Seminar.

You will receive advance notices of Forward to the Past Brown Bag Lunches and PPP Virtual Seminars.

I realize many on this group list who LIKED us are my friends from various areas of my life. Some are in the region, others are not. Some are in the development business some are not. I ask that you suggest this page to anyone you know who is involved in fundraising for organizations and projects, and especially planned giving, major gifts and bequests. That can really help to build our group so that we can raise the level of support for all our many worthwhile philanthropic organizations. Thanks! (Barbara Hammerman)

Uniting to Unleash the Power of Philanthropy to Transform our Community

REGISTER NOW!

America has a long and rich charitable tradition, yet approximately six out of ten Americans die without a simple updated will. Of those, only about 8% include a charitable gift – which means many dreams of supporting favorite charities are never realized!



As a fundraising professional, charitable gift planning officer, or estate planning advisor we tend to care deeply about our donors/clients. Studies show we feel better about our work because it helps people realize their desire to make a positive impact in the world.



You can help philanthropic people unleash the power of their philanthropy to transform our community by encouraging them to incorporate charitable gift planning into their overall estate plans. Join us at this very special summit, facilitated by one of the top gift planning experts in our nation, Pamela Davidson, JD, former President of the Partnership for Philanthropic Planning. She will show us how to work together to better serve our clients and donors by helping them realize their philanthropic dreams.



Who should be at this Summit besides YOU? Professional Advisors, Fundraising Professionals, Charitable Gift Planning Officers and Consultants, Executive Directors, Board Members, and others interested in helping philanthropic people achieve their goals.

The first annual South Sound Summit is brought to you through a collaborative effort between the South Sound Planned Giving Council and the Association of Fundraising Professionals South Sound.
