Giving More Than Money

If you’ve been around Avant Financial Advisors for long you know that irrational generosity is part of our foundation. One way we practice this is by giving the first 10% of every dollar we earn to charities who are dedicated to great work in the world.

We’ve been fortunate that each year since our founding we have been able to double the amount we gave the previous year! Our donations have been spread across numerous types of charities working in areas like cancer research, poverty prevention, adoption support, education, youth sports in underprivileged areas, aging, national park preservation, etc.

Supporting these organizations as a firm is something I’m most proud of over the past four years. And now we’re wondering if there is an even better way for us to be generous. Is there a way we can have an even bigger, long-lasting impact and more fulfilling interactions with the people we’re supporting?

We have an idea we would like to try. Instead of just writing checks to charities, we want to partner with them long-term. Instead of picking a new list each year, we’d like to identify organizations that are near and dear to our hearts and support them year-round. We’ll be serving with them, promoting the work they are doing, offering our talents to help, and yes, writing substantial checks.

As a firm we’re currently working on establishing our relationships with these organizations. We’ll keep you updated as our plan progresses. All of us are excited for this new adventure and to make the biggest impact in this world that we can.

Here’s to an amazing, impactful 2023!
