Our reach spans San Diego, the Inland Empire, Orange County, Los Angeles County, and Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. This meaningful work is made possible through the generosity of our Annual Sponsors. Your sponsorship directly supports our high-quality educational offerings, expands access to professional development, and builds valuable connections among attendees and sponsoring organizations. As a valued Annual Sponsor, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your expertise, build brand visibility, and engage with nonprofit and allied professionals through a variety of signature events—including our Planned Giving 101 and 201 seminars, topical webinars, monthly programs, and the premier Western Regional Planned Giving Conference in May.
