Our Mission

Together with our donors, our mission is to serve as the leading catalyst for building vibrant communities through meaningful philanthropy.

We believe that all of our residents should have the same opportunities to thrive and succeed in life. We do this by supporting and partnering with exceptional nonprofit organizations that address our most pressing needs and bring positive change to our communities.

Why Open a Fund with Us?

We make charitable giving simple, effective and fulfilling by connecting donors with opportunities that are meaningful to them using charitable giving funds. These funds work like a charitable checking account.
