At Invest in Others, we believe financial services professionals, specifically financial advisors, have the power to create meaningful change, not only for their clients but for their communities. Through our Grant Program, we provide funding to help amplify the impact of charitable work.
We caught up with Faith Bitterman, Director of Programs, to learn more about why this opportunity is such a great fit for the financial services community.
Faith joined her fellow Invest in Others teammates at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport for our 2025 Invest in Others Awards Gala.
Together, we honored financial advisors changing lives through their incredible charitable work, nationwide and beyond. 🌍💙
What makes the Invest in Others Grant Program unique?
Faith: What’s special about our grants is that they’re designed specifically for those in financial services who are already giving back. Whether you’re serving on a nonprofit board, leading a volunteer initiative, or supporting a local cause, our funding helps you take that impact even further.
Why should financial professionals consider applying?
Faith: We’ve seen that advisors and those in the financial services sector have incredible ties to their communities; they see firsthand where resources can make a difference. Our program allows them to leverage their leadership and desire to support nonprofits, helping organizations nationwide scale their impact in tangible ways through Invest in Others grant funding.
What types of projects are typically funded?
Faith: We fund a wide range of initiatives, from youth mentorship and education programs to food insecurity, housing, and health services. And so many more! If a nonprofit is poised to make measurable change but could use some financial support, and a financial services professional is championing that cause, it’s a great fit.
What impact have you seen from past grants?
Faith: The ripple effects are incredible. Our grantees have expanded programs, reached more families in need, and even launched new community partnerships because of Invest in Others funding. It’s not just about the dollars; it’s about empowerment and connection.
