Independent Financial Group Launches Impact For Good -- A New Charitable Foundation to Deepen Community Engagement and Employee Giving
SAN DIEGO, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Independent Financial Group, LLC (IFG) – a privately held independent wealth management provider supporting more than 600 financial professionals across more than 400 locations nationwide – today announced the launch of Impact For Good, the firm's new 501(c)(3) charitable foundation and the centerpiece of its broader IFG Charitable Initiative. This structured program is designed to elevate IFG's philanthropic efforts and empower employees to make a meaningful difference in their communities.
The launch of Impact For Good represents the next step in expanding and formalizing that long-standing philanthropic commitment to community involvement through collaborative giving, volunteerism and employee engagement. The foundation provides a platform for employees to nominate and vote on nonprofit partners annually and supports giving back through two paid Volunteer Time Off days each year for hands-on nonprofit work.
Independent Financial Group has emphasized giving back since the firm was founded more than 23 years ago. Throughout its history, IFG has regularly shared a portion of firm profits with charitable organizations supporting the communities where its employees and financial professionals live and work.
"We're proud to launch Impact For Good and come together to make a meaningful difference in our communities," said Paige Heising, President of Impact For Good. "It's about showing up, giving back and bringing the entire IFG team together to create lasting change."
The foundation's goals are to engage employees by giving everyone a voice in selecting charitable partners and participating in volunteer opportunities, to amplify IFG's impact by concentrating efforts on causes that create meaningful and measurable change in communities, and to inspire a culture of giving through shared ownership in the communities IFG supports.
Impact For Good is guided by a Charity Committee comprised of five employees serving two-year terms. The 2026 Charity Committee includes:
- Paige Heising, President
- Abbey Eastham, Secretary
- Sarah Kreisman, Treasurer
- Madison Turbeville, Committee Member
- Jackson Fischer, Committee Member
All IFG employees may nominate charities for consideration. After nominations are reviewed for eligibility and completeness, employees vote to rank the eligible nonprofits, and the Charity Committee selects the final charitable partners for the year. The nomination period opens each December, with final partners announced in February.
Throughout the year, Impact For Good will host a variety of events including fundraising efforts, donation drives, volunteer days and other community engagement opportunities.
