The Make-A-Wish San Diego (MAWSD) Planned Giving Advisory Council (PGAC) comprises local financial planning advisors, attorneys, CPAs, and professional fiduciaries who offer guidance, provide support, and make recommendations when and as requested by the MAWSD leadership team, and serve as a resource and connector to advance the Make-A-Wish mission.

The PGAC is comprised of highly skilled professionals whose experience and expertise are well suited to advising or otherwise supporting MAWSD concerning matters of planned giving or gifts that donors typically coordinate with financial advisors, such as donations from a Donor Advised Fund.
