Message from the Chair, CAGP Greater Vancouver Area Chapter

The Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP) and the members of the local Greater Vancouver chapter are pleased to provide this 18th annual LEAVE A LEGACY™ feature publication.

As the only Canadian professional association that brings together charitable fundraisers and professional advisers in one professional association, we are inspired by the heartfelt stories and quality information shared in this publication.

One of CAGP’s goals is to inspire and educate the people involved in strategic charitable gift planning. In turn, the goal of CAGP’s members is to assist individuals and families with strategic gift planning that takes values, finances and philanthropic goals into account to create a better world. This work is only made possible through the generosity and insightfulness of our clients and supporters.

Through philanthropy, many are taking action to foster and celebrate excellence and innovation in our communities. Leaving a charitable legacy is one of the many ways to help our communities accomplish their ambitious goals.

This publication showcases exceptional messages from philanthropic, legal and financial advisers who bring a rich and diverse range of experience. They are here to guide you with knowledge and skill to realize your philanthropy goals. We invite you to contact these excellent professionals and causes, and have a conversation.
