In challenging times, trusted and consistent friends and organizations are vital to your success.  Since 1927, the American Council on Gift Annuities has had one message – Building Responsible Philanthropy.  And ACGA has had one audience – the charities of America (and the donors who seek to support them).

There is great value in attending a conference that has its roots deeply embedded in the social and economic history of our country.  With consistency through the Great Depression, the New Deal, World War II, the 1970s and the 1990s, ACGA has faced challenges with the charities of America.  It has withstood the tests of time and developed the best practices to weather the storms that we all face in our gift planning responsibilities.

Through these challenges, the Conference on Gift Annuities has become the premiere conference for gift planners representing the charities of America and their donors!  The 29th Conference on Gift Annuities will continue the tradition of focusing on charities, their donors and the best practices for managing and marketing an effective gift planning program.

Join us in New Orleans as we are “Jammin’ for Success” in the city that stands as a testimony to consistency and strength.  Join us as we move together into our ninth decade of service to you and your donors.

Chairman of the Board of Directors
