Help Those In Our Industry Now — And For Years To Come
One of the most generous ways you can give back to the industry you love is through a Legacy gift to the PCMA Foundation. Gifts of $5,000 or more can be given during one’s lifetime or deferred through a will, bequest or trust.
Sign a Planned Giving Declaration of Intent.
Planned Giving: Wills and Estate Plans
Champions of the PCMA Foundation who are passionate about the industry’s future, include a gift to the Foundation in their will or estate plan. Doing this establishes a personal legacy that impacts the lives of many in this industry for years to come.
There are two types of Legacy Society membership based on the way you’d like to give:
- Deferred Gift: A gift through a will, bequest or trust where the PCMA Foundation is named as a beneficiary.
- Lifetime Gift: A gift given over the course of one’s lifetime, $5,000 over 5 years. Visit this page to join.
The best way to give is to make a written pledge. This can simply be a letter written in your own words and sent to the PCMA Foundation along with a Declaration of Intent. It is then your responsibility to set your affairs in order so that your pledge will be fulfilled.
- Directly impact students and ignite the careers of future business events industry professionals
- Be part of this elite group of industry leaders, of which 50% are business event strategists
- Be recognized through various PCMA channels and special recognition at PCMA Convening Leaders
- Gain personal satisfaction supporting the work that you passionately care about
