What People are Saying
“I just wanted to connect and say how grateful I am to Crescendo for continuing to support our MPM team and so many non-profits by providing the PPGC conference online for free this fall. We are blessed to work from home but it can be isolating at times, and having content and connections like this conference is so motivating. When I shared the link with our team my colleague emailed back: I have always wanted to attend a national conference and now I am. Thank you so much for forwarding this. I have signed up for every session except one. Woo hoo!”

Director of Individual Giving, Milwaukee Public Museum
“PPGC2020 has been a terrific way to get current, bite-size training and tips from some of respected planned giving experts. Appreciate the cost — FREE — and can earn some needed CFRE credits. Thank you, Crescendo team — you rocked this!”

“I signed up for a variety of PPGC free webcasts over the next few months. Like most schools in the country, Regis Jesuit HS in Aurora, CO., is in a hybrid mode of education. Expenses have been curtailed and our financial aid requests have gone up dramatically, so to be able to get all this content without the expenses and worries of travel, etc., is greatly appreciated. These webcasts are always useful, but in this COVID era even more timely. Any Gifts Officer or Planned Giving Officer would get great benefit from attending PPGC.”
Glenn Churchill
Major Gifts/Planned Giving Officer, Regis Jesuit High School
“I recently attended the PPGC webinar series and was impressed by the caliber of speakers and content. Whether you are new to fundraising or have been working with donors and systems for many years, this series offers robust and comprehensive content that will add to your perspective as a fundraising professional.”
