What Is an AiP Chapter?
AiP Chapters bring the mission of Advisors in Philanthropy to your local community.
Each chapter is a regional network of attorneys, financial advisors, accountants, planned-giving officers, nonprofit leaders, and other professionals who share a commitment to helping clients and donors give with purpose. Chapters host local programming, foster referral relationships, and create a space to exchange ideas on charitable planning close to home — all while remaining part of the larger AiP national community.
When you join through a chapter, you become a member of both AiP National and your local chapter, giving you the full slate of national benefits plus the connection and camaraderie of a regional group.

Not near a chapter? No problem. If you do not live within a 75-mile radius of an existing chapter, you can still join as an AiP National member and enjoy the full range of national benefits — and you may be exactly the person to start a chapter of your own.
