Growing in Your Field
GCF offers several opportunities for professional advisors, including attorneys, accountants, financial planners and wealth managers, to grow professionally including:
The GCF Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® Study Group. The CAP® designation demonstrates an advisor's commitment to provide a higher level of service and knowledge to help clients articulate and advance their highest aspirations for self, family and society. GCF offers CAP® Study Groups each year to help advisors achieve this goal as part of an annual cohort that learns together during the year, with the opportunity to participate in (re)CAP, the GCF CAP alumni group.
GCF hosts several events for networking each year where you can socialize with colleagues across professional disciplines.
