Membership Special!The Planned Giving Information Consortium of East Central Illinois (PGIC) has established an introductory membership price of $50 to new members for their first year (instead of the regular price of $125/yr.) during their membership drive going on now. This organization is the only one of its kind in the area that allows professional wealth managers (attorneys, CPA’s, trust officers, etc.) and non-profit representatives to interact and collectively educate the area on the benefits of planned giving. This organization does NOT solicit funds. PGIC hopes to expand their membership to Champaign/Urbana and the surrounding area after numerous inquiries. PGIC also is the proud sponsor of the East Central Illinois Leave A Legacy Program. |
