VIENNA, Va., Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- After nearly a decade of service with the Foundation for Financial Planning, YeskeBuie C3O and CIO, Yusuf Abugideiri, CFP^®, has joined the organization's Board of Trustees.

Yusuf's involvement with the Foundation began in 2018 when he participated in the organization's Pro Bono for Cancer initiative, helping a couple navigate the financial challenges of a cancer diagnosis. Yusuf credits this experience, and subsequent pro bono engagements, with shaping him as a professional and making him a better financial planner for his Clients.

"Participating in the Pro Bono for Cancer initiative was absolutely a life-changing experience for me," Yusuf shared. "It helped me learn how to serve in a pro bono capacity, get closer to people who are going through this acute experience, and more deeply understand how it affects their lives. The pro bono engagements changed me as a professional and made me a better planner for every Client I work with who is affected by this kind of diagnosis."

He sees serving on the Foundation's Board as an opportunity to give back to the organization that helped shape his approach to financial planning. "Serving on the Board feels like a chance to give back to the Foundation for the experiences that helped me show up better for my Clients," he said.

Yusuf will serve a three-year term supporting the Foundation's mission of expanding access to pro bono financial planning. "We get to make a real impact with this work for people who need our help," Yusuf shared. "It's an honor to serve, and I look forward to working alongside the other Trustees to make a meaningful difference in people's lives through pro bono financial planning, a necessary component of our profession's identity."
