Colorado Planned Giving Roundtable (CPGR) is a nonprofit organization that provides a resource forum to facilitate gift planning in the Rocky Mountain region. The CPGR has over 350 members, including nonprofit planned giving officers, attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors, and bank trust officers. (Our membership is approximately 1/3 professional advisors, and 2/3 nonprofit executives.) Our mission is to increase the quantity and quality of charitable planned gifts in our community. We accomplish this through providing quality educational programs, raising public awareness, and offering networking opportunities within the Colorado gift planning community.
Members of the CPGR community:
- Are great talkers, and will spread the word about our sponsors' products and services; and
- Are in positions that control or influence buying decisions in the nonprofit, financial, and legal services arenas. CPGR is a nonprofit organization, and depends on the generous support of our sponsors for a large part of its operating budget. When you become a partner of CPGR as a sponsor, your advertising dollars will go a long way in the Colorado marketplace. We look forward to speaking with you about your sponsorship needs.
