Why Join The PGCSA?

PGCSA serves both non-profit and the allied-professional, whether new to the field or with many years of experience. PGCSA members are also members of the regional LEAVE A LEGACY® program, a community-based program designed to encourage people from all walks of life to make gifts through their wills or other planned giving vehicles.

Membership in the Planned Giving Council of San Antonio also includes membership in LAL, which provides both non-profit and allied professionals access to numerous resources to help them promote planned giving to their constituencies.

PGCSA gives you access to the most experienced and creative minds in gift planning. Learn from others at local programs and the annual national conference, and give donors, clients and charities the benefits of your wisdom.

PGCSA gives you the opportunity to give something back--to invest in you own career and to help others who need to know about the possibilities of planned giving.

Other benefits of membership in PGCSA include access to and networking opportunities with the best and most experienced Gift Planners in the San Antonio region, opportunities to become a mentor of an experienced Gift Planner, member prices for workshops, luncheons, and other educational opportunities, the association of your organization with a recognizable national program, backed by a national media campaign, use of the LEAVE A LEGACY® logo and other materials, access to our LAL members only resources, brochures for donors, and Speaker's Bureau, participation in special activities, such as a "Write a Will Day", and a periodic letter designed to be included in your newsletter or other donor communications.
