OneAscent's Excellence in Giving Achieves Remarkable $1 Billion Charity Milestone

OneAscent Achieves a Historic Philanthropic Milestone

OneAscent is thrilled to announce a significant achievement as its philanthropic advisory agency, Excellence in Giving, reaches an impressive milestone of $1 billion in charitable grants. This landmark event underlines the company's dedication to supporting nonprofit organizations and ministries globally since its inception in 2002.

This year, Excellence in Giving became part of the OneAscent family, thereby enhancing OneAscent's capability to align financial decisions with clients’ values. Through this integration, OneAscent distinguishes itself as the only financial services firm boasting specialized in-house expertise in philanthropic giving, ensuring clients receive comprehensive guidance that aligns with their mission.

Al Mueller, the founder of Excellence in Giving, reflected on this remarkable journey. He shared that achieving the first $100 million in grants took a decade, but client generosity has exponentially accelerated, culminating in over $1 billion this year alone. “This milestone fulfills a promise made to me during a retreat in 2012, wherein I was assured of advising families in their giving endeavors,” expressed Mueller. “I consider this fulfillment a testament not just to our efforts; it signifies the unwavering support of our clients and divine guidance throughout our path.”

Harry Pearson, CEO of OneAscent, echoed the visionary pursuit of the company, emphasizing the importance of giving. “At OneAscent, stewardship extends beyond accumulating wealth; it encompasses utilizing resources to uplift every individual and community,” Pearson stated. “Witnessing the Excellence in Giving team guide families and organizations toward achieving over $1 billion in charitable contributions is not only historic but incredibly motivating. No other institution provides this depth of philanthropic direction alongside financial planning and investment opportunities.”

The implications of this achievement go beyond mere numerical success. It embodies lives transformed, communities uplifted, and a substantial impact resonating across the globe. Both OneAscent and Excellence in Giving remain steadfast in their commitment to high-quality service for generous stewards, ensuring every financial decision, whether saving, investing, or donating, is congruent with their core values.
