The gold standard in philanthropy

By integrating the professions of law, accounting, financial services, and nonprofit planned giving, the program promotes an interdisciplinary approach to most effectively achieve client goals. The curriculum comes from The American College of Financial Services in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, the nation’s leading educator of professionals in financial services.

This program is organized by the Omaha Community Foundation and led by former Omaha Community Foundation board member Mark Weber. Read our interview with Mark about challenging legacy expectations. You can also learn more about Mark and the success of the CAP® program in this interview with Planned Giving Today and the Omaha World-Herald.

What they’re saying

“I have found that most people are charitable and would be more so if they know how to effectively support nonprofit organizations without jeopardizing their own security. CAP® has given us the skills to help people explore these ideas and find solutions that cement their own legacies through greater support of the organizations dear to their heart.”
—Jason Hiley, partner and co-founder of Hiley Hunt Wealth Management
