The Planned Giving Design Center has been very helpful in keeping me informed of the latest in charitable giving and in assisting me with charitable contributions. I needed to run an illustration of a two-life CRT for a client and the calculator section on the PGDC made it fast and easy. -David Williams, CPA, Rockport
