CAGP Empowering Client Philanthropy Course
Advocis is proud to partner with the Canadian Association of Gift Planners to bring advisors discounted access to the highly engaging Gift Planning Fundamentals for Professional Advisors: Empowering Client Philanthropy course, currently delivered virtually over two days.
We know that advisors who can effectively help clients engage in effective and fulfilling philanthropy, while incorporating the benefits of giving into their financial and estate plan, will gain deeper client relationships and a competitive marketplace advantage.
Attending the Empowering Client Philanthropy course will give you:
- Strategies to help you engage more deeply with existing clients and add value to them as a philanthropic advisor;
- Tips to grow your book of business and connect with new clients through the philanthropic conversation;
- A better understanding of new trends in client philanthropy (e.g., advised funds, crowdfunding, social impact movements) as well as how to engage with charity sector centres of influence in your community.
Testimonials
“I have been actively discussing giving with clients as part of estate and financial planning dialogues but had not previously had any direct training. This course re-affirmed my general understanding and provided supporting material and insights which were very helpful.”
