CAPĀ® Study Group

Communities Foundation of Texas, The Dallas Foundation, and C3 Financial Partners are proud to sponsor the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAPĀ®) Study Group Program

The Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAPĀ®) Study Group Program provides a collaborative forum that brings professional advisors and nonprofit leaders around the same table to learn about charitable planning and to build lasting professional networks. For over a decade this peer-learning experience has empowered participants to be more connected to philanthropic resources and help their clients and donors maximize their community impact.

C3 Financial Partners, Communities Foundation of Texas, and The Dallas Foundation administer the program in North Texas, which works to equip financial planners, CPAs, estate attorneys, insurance professionals, and nonprofit development and gift planners with philanthropic planning concepts, while enhancing their listening skills and building a strong network throughout our region.
