Gift Planning Council Additional Resources

In 2018, the council raised $25,000 to establish The Donald H. Chisolm Gift Planning Council Children’s Hope Fund. To date, with member support, the fund has grown to more than $200,000! Each year this endowed fund provides support for the mission of Children's Mercy to transform the health, well-being and potential of children, with unwavering compassion for those most vulnerable.
