WebCalcs is a fully web-based service meaning that all regulation changes and updates are handled automatically by PG Calc.

By integrating with eTapestry we are able to combine all aspects of the donor record-keeping system with planned gift calculations right on the Internet.The result is a powerful combination of simplicity and universal access for nonprofit organizations,” said Gary Pforzheimer, President of PG Calc.
