GIVING BACK
Creating positive change through community involvement.
Community involvement is a crucial aspect of creating and maintaining healthy, vibrant, and connected communities. When individuals actively participate in their communities, they play a vital role in improving the quality of life for all residents. Community involvement leads to better local services and facilities, improved public spaces, and a stronger sense of belonging and connectedness among neighbors.
Milestone Financial Planning believes that encouraging civic responsibility and active engagement in our community helps shape the future of neighborhoods and communities for the better. You will find us volunteering on charitable boards and providing financial education to members of our community. Milestone contributes 3% of distributable cash flow to local charities, and our entire team is encouraged to build their financial generosity.
Toys for Tots
At Milestone, we believe in giving back to our community, especially during the holiday season. This year, we are proud to support Toys for Tots by donating new, unwrapped toys collected by employees and clients to bring joy to children in need. We’re committed to making a positive impact, and every toy donated helps brighten a child’s holiday. Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign – together we can make a difference!
