Charitable Giving

We are in our 8th year of running our Charitable Giving Program with Sensible Financial Planning Ltd.  This is an annual program and we want you, our client, to let us know where we should donate.

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT

We want to include our clients in our Charitable giving.  Every year we will accept nominations for local charities that are important to our clients.   Once we have collected nominations, we will confirm the charitable status of the organization and we will share them on our website and with our partners.  

What’s New This Year:

• All previously nominated charities will receive a $100 donation.
• For new nominations, we’ll select four charities to present to our partners.
• Even if a new nomination isn’t selected as one of the four, it will still receive a $100 donation.

Does Your Charity Qualify?

• It must be a registered charity
• It should have impacted your life or your community

What to Include in Your Nomination:

• The name of the organization
• A short note on why you’re nominating it
• Whether we can share your name with the nomination (or if you prefer to remain anonymous)

How to Submit:

• Send us an email
• Tell us in person or over the phone
• Leave us a voicemail

Deadline:

• August 31, 2025
