Independent Financial Group Launches Impact For Good

On March 25, 2026, the Independent Financial Group, LLC (IFG) announced the establishment of its new charitable initiative, Impact For Good. This initiative forms the core of IFG's broader charitable efforts and is designed to promote community engagement and empower its employees to contribute positively to their local communities.

A Commitment to Philanthropy

Founded more than 23 years ago, IFG has consistently committed itself to charitable giving. Over this period, the firm has steadily allocated a portion of its profits to support local nonprofits that enhance the communities where its financial professionals operate. The launch of Impact For Good expands this commitment into a structured framework that encourages collaborative giving and volunteerism among its workforce.

Empowering Employees

According to Paige Heising, President of Impact For Good, “This foundation is about fostering a culture of giving back. We want our employees to feel a sense of ownership in choosing the charitable organizations we support.” The foundation facilitates a process where all employees can nominate and vote on nonprofit partners every year, emphasizing their participation and engagement in the philanthropic efforts of the firm.

Moreover, the program introduces two paid Volunteer Time Off (VTO) days for employees annually. This benefit allows staff members to engage directly in nonprofit work, thereby fostering stronger community ties and encouraging hands-on support for local issues.

Structure and Governance

To ensure the effective operation of the foundation, a Charity Committee has been created. This committee comprises five employees who serve two-year terms, responsible for reviewing charity nominations and selecting partners based on employee votes. The inaugural committee for 2026 includes:

• - Paige Heising - President
• - Abbey Eastham - Secretary
• - Sarah Kreisman - Treasurer
• - Madison Turbeville - Committee Member
• - Jackson Fischer - Committee Member

The nomination process takes place every December, concluding with the announcement of selected partners in February. This system promotes transparency and fairness, allowing for a diverse range of charitable organizations to be considered.

Events and Community Activities

Throughout the year, Impact For Good plans to host a variety of events aimed at raising funds and fostering community awareness. These activities will include donation drives, volunteer days, and other engagement opportunities designed to enrich the lives of individuals in the communities supported by IFG.
