Conference Bursaries
With the generous contribution of many CAGP Chapters, as well as other partners and supporters, we are pleased to offer a number of conference bursaries so gift planning professionals can access this outstanding professional opportunity.
The CAGP Conference Bursary Program is intended to enable both charity gift planners and professional advisors to participate in this outstanding professional development opportunity where financial constraints are a barrier to access.
We also seek to strengthen cultural diversity among our delegates. As such, while anyone may apply for a bursary, we do prioritize applications from those in small organizations or companies with limited professional development budgets, and from members of diverse communities.
We have two types of bursary available this year:
- Sponsored BIPOC Bursaries (for CAGP members and non-members)
- CAGP Chapter Sponsored Bursaries (for CAGP members only)

We are seeking applicants who are actively working in the field of gift planning and would like to attend the CAGP National Conference but may not have the means to do so. The BIPOC bursaries are open to both CAGP members and non-members.
Coverage
National bursaries cover the cost of early-bird registration plus $1500 toward travel and accommodation. Local bursaries for Nova Scotia residents cover the Conference registration for a local delegate and a $250 stipend.
The bursary application process is now closed for 2022.
Chapter
Bursaries
CAGP Chapter Sponsored Bursaries are allocated to support both members affiliated with a local Chapter or within a specific community as well as members from elsewhere in Canada.
That means, even if your Chapter or an organization from your community is not sponsoring a bursary you are still encouraged to apply.
