Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore animals. My two rescue dogs, Gia (a German Shepherd mix) and Max (a Husky mix), are constant reminders of the joy, loyalty, and unconditional love that animals bring into our lives. It’s not surprising then that supporting organizations dedicated to giving animals a second chance is something I’m passionate about.
One of the reasons I’m proud to be part of One Wealth Advisors is our commitment to charitable giving. Each year, OWA contributes a portion of company profits to the OWA Donor Advised Fund. Even more meaningful, when an employee makes a personal donation, OWA matches it dollar for dollar. That means that donations to the causes we care about most, whether it’s animals, the environment, or community programs, are amplified through generosity at both the individual and company level.
Last week, I donated to The Asher House, a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals. In honor of their founder Lee Asher’s birthday, they launched a $100,000 Matching Gift Challenge with the support of three generous partners. Thanks to OWA’s match and The Asher House’s challenge, my $250 gift quickly became $1,000 to help animals who need it most. Talk about a return on investment!
It’s humbling to see how quickly generosity multiplies when people and organizations come together, and I’m grateful to work for a company that celebrates giving in such a tangible way. Gia, Max, and I may be just a small part of this story, but knowing our support ripples out to help other animals find love and safety means the world.
