Scholarship Opportunity

The Planned Giving Round Table (PGRT) is a non-profit organization serving the needs of charitable institutions and their representatives in the Orange County community. The purpose of PGRT is to encourage the education and training of planned giving specialists, local fund-raisers and allied professionals. Members participate in seminars, conferences, presentations, research, publishing, and similar activities in the study of gift planning. PGRT meetings facilitate communication and networking processes between members and other experts in the financial planning and development fields.

To accomplish these goals, PGRT has created a scholarship opportunity to increase awareness of planned giving within the non-profit community, elevate and enhance the technical ability and expertise of those new to planned giving, and attract new members to PGRTOC.
