The mission of the PGDC is to provide legal, tax, and financial advisors with authoritative information on the topics of charitable taxation and charitable gift planning so they may better assist their clients in accomplishing their personal and philanthropic financial and estate planning objectives. As well, prospective charitable donors may find PGDC content helpful in establishing their own giving plans.

Anyone can become a member of the PGDC simply by using the online registration form. Because the cost of producing the PGDC is underwritten by hosting organizations and corporate sponsors, membership and access to all PGDC content and community features is free!
