There is a joy in giving that comes with caring for your community. Susan Goodell, Otto & Associates

FINANCIAL ADVISOR

“I encourage clients to think about charitable giving throughout life and not put it off until they ‘have enough.’ There is joy in giving, even if it’s a small monthly donation, that comes with caring for your community and knowing you’re helping to improve a situation.

“The Vermont Community Foundation is a tremendous resource. I help clients identify their broad philanthropic goals and then lean on the deep bank of knowledge at the Foundation to foster connections between clients and charities that put those goals into action. And when emergencies arise, like COVID-19 and the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, I know the Community Foundation has done the vetting.”
