Scholarship Opportunity

The Partnership for Philanthropic Planning Orange County (PPPOC) is a non-profit organization serving the needs of charitable institutions and their representatives in the Orange County community. The purpose of PPPOC is to encourage the education and training of planned giving specialists, local fund-raisers and allied professionals. Members participate in seminars, conferences, presentations, research, publishing, and similar activities in the study of gift planning. PPPOC meetings facilitate communication and networking processes between members and other experts in the financial planning and development fields.

To accomplish these goals, PPPOC has created a scholarship opportunity to increase awareness of planned giving within the non-profit community, elevate and enhance the technical ability and expertise of those new to planned giving, and attract new members to PPPOC.
