We are pleased to announce that PGDC members now have free access to the National Committee on Planned Giving's Online Library of articles from the Journal of Gift Planning and proceedings from past NCPG Conferences.

Since its inception, the National Committee on Planned Giving has been a major publisher of information about charitable gift and estate planning through The Journal of Gift Planning and the proceedings of the National Conference on Planned Giving. Selected articles from these publications are now available via an online library.

This tremendous resource, underwritten by the Planned Giving Design Center and its hosting organizations, is now available online free of charge exclusively to NCPG and PGDC members. Others may use the library on a pay-per-view basis.

The library is managed by Ingenta, a leading provider of technology and services to the publishing and information industries. Articles are searchable by title, author and keywords, including code numbers from NCPG's Syllabus for Gift Planners—a detailed outline of skill and knowledge areas related to gift planning.

Articles in the online library cover all aspects of charitable gift planning, including ethics, donor relations, marketing, program administration, gift design, and tax considerations. The online library currently contains more than 160 articles. NCPG expects to add approximately 30 articles to the library each year.

The library is password protected:
