The Gift Planning Council (GPC) is a national volunteer council of financial and estate-planning professionals. Gift Planning Services formed the GPC in order to:
Foster relationships between estate-planning professionals and Philanthropies to facilitate donor inclined giving through planned gifts, and
Create a vehicle to exchange information regarding trends in the professional estate planning world and inform professionals and donors of giving opportunities at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its affiliated charities.
The GPC meets biennially at the GPC Conference. Now over 1,100 professionals strong, the GPC provides a network of support to professionals and provides a continual exchange of information and techniques to assist you, their client, in accomplishing your charitable desires.

This video explains the opportunities and services provided by the council to help these professionals serve their clients.
