We measure ourselves by the impact of those we work with. Simply put, we partner with donors and organizations to be a catalyst for meaningful community-based transformation. We believe both big and small contributions can make a difference.
We have deep roots working with community
We work with our charitable partners to address community needs. Through combinations of grants, loans and advisory services we are able to get creative, often finding innovative, flexible, and nimble ways to catalyze support for impactful projects.

We work with donors
We work with individuals, families, businesses and other charities, to help them achieve their desired impact in community. One way we do this is through Donor Advised Funds. A Donor Advised Fund is a strategic tool that allows you to create a lasting legacy to support charities in your community – while providing tax benefits back to you.
