Helping Foster Kids Just Be Kids
For almost 30 years, Allworth Financial has been working with people to help them achieve their financial goals so they can enjoy great retirements. But it’s not only about business. Since its inception, Allworth has taken community involvement seriously, donating time, energy, and resources in support of worthwhile non-profits from coast-to-coast. As an outgrowth of that tradition, in December 2020, in tandem with the Ticket to Dream Foundation and with an initial contribution of $1 million, Allworth Financial announced the creation of Allworth Kids, an ongoing, national, philanthropic endeavor that will work to provide fundraising and volunteer opportunities in support of foster children.
Allworth Financial has continued to support Ticket to Dream through its Allworth Kids program. This ongoing partnership provides fundraising and volunteer opportunities in support of foster youth in the communities that Allworth Financial and its subsidiaries conduct business in. Since 2020, Allworth Financial has impacted over 57,000 foster youth by providing them with brand new school supplies and laptops, First Night Kits to create comfort during the first nights in a new home, gift cards for high school and college youth who are graduating, gifts and experiences during the holidays, sent siblings to summer camp to reunite, and provided emergency relief to foster families affected by California wildfires.
ALLWORTH FINANCIAL
Valerie, myself and everyone at Allworth are incredibly thrilled to be partnering with the Ticket to Dream Foundation in support of foster children. In many ways, this is the start of the realization of something we’ve hoped to achieve since our founding back in 1993. This announcement, and this initial donation, are only the beginning, as we seek to have a positive and lasting impact on the children who are in the foster care system from coast-to-coast, and for many, many years to come.
