Charitable Estate Planning Northwest (CEPN) began in 200l with the singular objective to help the nonprofit community effectively market, secure and manage planned giving arrangements. Data suggest that charitable estate and planned giving will very likely become the most significant source of revenue for nonprofit organizations during the next 20-30 years. CEPN is here to help your organization not miss these important fund raising opportunities. 

Many of the nonprofit organizations CEPN has served also need assistance with capital and endowment campaign planning, feasibilty studies, executive and development staff recuitment, visioning and strategic planning, grant writing, media relations and Web consultancy.  As a result, CEPN has expanded our team to include development professionals who are able to more comprehensively serve the nonprofit community.  We offer a wide array of services for your careful consideration.  Read more about CEPN's development consulting services or download our marketing brochure.
