Philanthropy in the Financial Advisory Industry

Philanthropy in the Financial Advisory Industry

The inspiration for the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation came directly from the financial advisors who invest in others by giving back to their communities with overwhelming generosity and dedication. Mark Casady, Chairman and CEO of LPL Financial, was moved to establish a public charity devoted to recognizing this valuable work, and the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation was founded in 2006.

Since our founding, Invest in Others has recognized 50 winners and 107 finalists, partnered with more than 140 charities, shared hundreds of inspirational stories, and donated over $2 million to causes that financial advisors and firms care so much about.

“Being recognized by Invest in Others brought awareness to my cause and let people know I was in it for all the right reasons. If you’re an advisor already doing great work, then this recognition is hands down the best one you can get.”
