At Client 1st Financial, our commitment to growing our capabilities and practices on behalf of our friends and clients is a core aspect of our principle beliefs. It's equally important to reach out and support those friends and clients in the communities in which we all live and work.
We believe it's important to positively impact the lives of others.To further the impact we make we established the Client 1stFoundation on February 1, 2012.
The focus of the foundation will be on assisting those folks in our communities who are less fortunate - the homeless, the hungry, the impoverished.
The foundation is structured as a donor advised fund. It is independently managed by the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation. A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving vehicle administered by a public charity and created for the purpose of managing charitable donations on behalf of an organization, family, or individual. A donor-advised fund offers the opportunity to create an easy-to-establish, low cost, flexible vehicle for charitable giving as an alternative to direct giving or creating a private foundation. Our goal in starting and supporting this fund was to find yet another way to say thank you to our friends, clients and affinity partners for putting their trust in Client 1st Financial.
We are very excited about our foundation and we know our clients will feel the same. To learn more about how the foundation works or to help support its efforts, please feel free to call our office (610.841.3037).
