Peer Communities
IPA Peer Communities offer members ongoing opportunities to connect and learn with their peers who share similar job responsibilities either regionally or statewide. Members are connected through listserv discussions, virtual meet-ups, and in-person convenings.
Listservs

Community Foundation Directory
Connect with colleagues across the state.
e-booklets
GIFT works with EDS, a firm specializing in marketing planned giving, to provide you with 32 e-booklets on planned giving. Please note, the e-booklets may not be posted to your foundation’s website.
Foundation Legal Help Desk (optional service)
IPA operates an optional fee-based service, the Foundation Legal Help Desk. Through a web- portal subscribers have direct access to an attorney for quick answers to legal questions.
