ACGA Webinar - State Regulations: Putting Together the Puzzle
Tuesday, May 04, 2021, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Category: Webinar

Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs) are often described as the easiest life-income gift for donors to understand and complete. But there are myriad rules and regulations that charities must follow in order to be allowed to issue CGAs. From the initial registration with state authorities to ongoing annual certifications and reports, it is important for charities to understand these requirements and develop internal processes to successfully meet them.

Please join American Council on Gift Annuities (ACGA) Board Members Crystal Thompkins, National Director of Gift Planning Services at BNY Mellon Wealth Management, and Nev Major, Director of Gift Administration for The Nature Conservancy, as they discuss ways to help your charity through the state regulation process from the perspectives of both the charity and a CGA administrator. In addition, learn about the resources offered by the ACGA and how they can help!

ACGA Members: $50 / ACGA Non-members: $75
