About Us & President's Message

Welcome to the Washington Planned Giving Council!

With more than 125 non-profit and allied professional members, Washington Planned Giving Council (WPGC) serves as a valuable resource that connects all sectors of the gift planning community. Whether you are a fundraiser, professional advisor, consultant or board member, we offer you the opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and network with others.  

We hope you will join us this year in one or all of the following ways:  

Learn:  Our monthly programs offer an opportunity to hear from outstanding speakers on a variety of topics that support your planned giving work and your professional development goals. While our programs have been virtual over the last three years, we plan to provide opportunities to connect with other professionals in person this year as well.   

In addition to offering monthly educational programs, our annual Planned Giving Day offers affordable planned giving training and continuing education that features local and national speakers. We will share information on our plans later this year.  

Network: This year we are pleased to bring back our no-cost Community Connection Program, which provides informal opportunities for you to connect with other professionals in the charitable and planned giving community. 

Get involved: Volunteering on a committee is a great way to give your time, share your knowledge, learn more and enhance your network. Contact the WPGC office at office@wpgc.org if you have interest in learning more about serving on a committee.  

If you're a member, thank you! We are grateful for your commitment to WPGC.  And if you're not, I hope you will consider join us.

With best regards, 

Laurie Ramacci Noegel 

2024 WPGC Board President
