Results So Far...
It’s been three months since the 2023/2024 campaign launched, and we have the first set of results. What are the numbers telling us? Campaign awareness, and interest in the ads remain strong (though we haven’t yet seen a marked increase from
last year).
The number of people coming to the Will Power website to explore a gift in their Will has gone up by 74%! Even better, the number of actions they’ve taken towards leaving a bequest has gone up by 53%.
This is only the beginning. Some exciting Will Power news to come in the new year.

In 2023, Ottawa provides the backdrop for an exciting array of session presenters and plenary speakers designed to provide delegates with the outstanding learning and networking event that CAGP consistently delivers each year.
We know some long-time members are interested in attending the CAGP Conference even though they may no longer be working in the field. We also know that for some it may be cost-prohibitive. Given that, we are pleased to offer a limited number of
registration spots at special discounted pricing for CAGP Retiree Members.

Bursaries are now available
With the generous contribution of many CAGP Chapters, as well as other partners and supporters, we are pleased to offer a number of conference bursaries so gift planning professionals can access this outstanding professional opportunity.
The CAGP Conference Bursary Program is intended to enable both charity gift planners and professional advisors to participate in this outstanding professional development opportunity where financial constraints are a barrier to
access.
We also seek to strengthen cultural diversity among our delegates. As such, while anyone may apply for a bursary, we do prioritize applications from those in small organizations or companies with limited professional development budgets, and from members
of diverse communities.
