Advocacy is central to the PPP mission extending beyond government relations. PPP advocates not only for a positive tax environment for the charitable sector but also in support of its members and the field of charitable gift planning. This presentation will include an update on the latest legislative activities in Washington and what they mean for the charitable sector as well as an inside look at how PPP is changing its infrastructure and using national research data to identify and improve member services.
