Individual professionals are offered several membership options. A combined membership package to both the Silicon Valley Planned Giving Council (SVPGC) and
Partnership for Philanthropic Planning (PPP) for $180. Annual dues for the individual Councils are $60 for the SVPGC, and $160 for the
PPP. Membership is based on the anniversary date - i.e., if an
individual joins in July, his or her membership is valid through the
following June. Invoices are sent by PPP a few months prior to a member's renewal date.
