Welcome to the Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council (GCPGC). Founded in 1992, the Council has been the trusted source for professional fundraisers and advisors in the Greater Cincinnati by facilitating planned giving education, training and networking opportunities.
In 2025, the GCPGC board of directors re-evaluated the landscape of the fundraising profession, and are implementing a new strategic plan throughout 2026 to better meet the needs of our community, from front-line fundraisers and their organizations, to donors and, by extension of our collective efforts, the entire Greater Cincinnati region.
Whether you are new to fundraising, new to planned giving, highly experienced, or retired, you will find value in the GCPGC programming and community. I encourage you to explore the programs we offer on the website, and sign up to receive information on educational programming, events and networking opportunities directly into your inbox each month.
GCPGC membership is intentionally affordable, and scholarships are available. Membership to the national association is optional, though a great value-add. To learn more, please explore our website or contact me at president@gcpgc.org.
I hope you will explore the offerings of GCPGC this year, and join our incredibly knowledgeable and supportive professional community! If you would like to join a committee, partner with GCPGC, or if the council or I can otherwise be helpful to you, please don’t hesitate to contact me at president@gcpgc.org.
With Gratitude,
Sara Kahmann, CFRE
2026 President
