On January 1, 2009, the National Committee on Planned Giving
will become the Partnership for Philanthropic Planning. The new name
reflects a broader mission and constituency for an organization that
has been serving the charitable planning community since 1988.
NCPG did a study last year that showed, in effect, that the forprofits have beaten the nonprofits at their own game. Donors are increasingly turning to financial, tax and legal advisors for advice on giving, even as they increasingly turn to commerical providers of foundations and donor advised funds. So, NCPG is looking to appeal to the larger audience of philanthropic advisors. Their announcment mentions their reaching out to other organizations, including educators. That would be good.
