Our goal is to make philanthropy simple for anyone and everyone who wants to give toward the common interest of improving the quality of life in our community.
Many people want their advisors to raise the issue of philanthropy, but how do you know when— and how— to bring the subject up?
Our community has benefited from the incredible generosity of many people in Fargo, Moorhead, and the surrounding area. Thank you to our Professional Advisor Partners who have chosen to work with the FM Area Foundation to help achieve their clients’ philanthropic and financial goals. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with you and your clients to help make our community a better place.
The following professional, legal and financial advisors have helped one or more of their clients set up a charitable fund or make a planned gift through the FM Area Foundation. We want to acknowledge their work on behalf of charitable giving in our community. Thank you!
