IPA Peer Communities offer members ongoing opportunities to connect and learn with their peers who share similar job responsibilities either regionally or statewide. Members are connected through listserv discussions, virtual meet-ups, and in-person convenings.
IPA and GIFT listservs are online communities that provide an interactive forum for members to engage with their peers through group e-mails where they can share ideas, ask questions, and learn from each other. Contact Julie Markland if you would like to join a listserv.
Connect with colleagues across the state.
GIFT works with EDS, a firm specializing in marketing planned giving, to provide you with 32 e-booklets on planned giving. Please note, the e-booklets may not be posted to your foundation’s website.
IPA operates an optional fee-based service, the Foundation Legal Help Desk. Through a web- portal subscribers have direct access to an attorney for quick answers to legal questions.
