The Gift Planning Council (GPC) is a national volunteer council of financial and estate-planning professionals. Gift Planning Services formed the GPC in order to:
Foster relationships between estate-planning professionals and Philanthropies to facilitate donor inclined giving through planned gifts, and
Create a vehicle to exchange information regarding trends in the professional estate planning world and inform professionals and donors of giving opportunities at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its affiliated charities.
The GPC meets biennially at the GPC Conference. Now over 1,100 professionals strong, the GPC provides a network of support to professionals and provides a continual exchange of information and techniques to assist you, their client, in accomplishing your charitable desires.

As a service to our Gift Planning Council friends, we are offering some presentations on timely topics, given by our talented colleagues. We hope they add value to you and your clients.
At our recent Gift Planning Council Conference, we held a panel with our four most recent GPC Chairs, Stan Leavitt, Carol Warnick, Paul Comstock & Todd Hallock. We enjoyed it so much; we gathered them together again to share with us their thoughts about “Collaboration” and how important it has been to their success. They discussed collaboration with family and with clients, along with the camaraderie they have gained from the GPC and the conference. We hope you’ll enjoy this as much as we enjoyed spending time with them again and we’re so grateful for their willingness to share.
We'd like to continue the discussion on values-based estate planning with you. Join us on LinkedIn!
