Yusuf Abugideiri Becomes Trustee at Financial Planning Foundation

In a significant development for the field of financial planning, Yusuf Abugideiri, CFP®, Chief Chief Operating Officer at YeskeBuie, has been appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Foundation for Financial Planning. Abugideiri's journey with the Foundation began nearly eight years ago, marking a relationship built on dedication to pro bono financial services.

In 2018, Abugideiri took part in the Foundation’s Pro Bono for Cancer initiative, assisting patients grappling with the financial burden that comes with a cancer diagnosis. This experience was pivotal for Abugideiri, contributing to his growth as a financial planner and enhancing his capability to support his clients dealing with similar challenges.

"Participating in the Pro Bono for Cancer initiative was absolutely a life-changing experience for me," Abugideiri reflects. "It helped me learn how to serve in a pro bono capacity, get closer to people who are going through this acute experience, and more deeply understand how it affects their lives. The pro bono engagements changed me as a professional and made me a better planner for every Client I work with who is affected by this kind of diagnosis."

His appointment to the Board comes with the opportunity to give back to an organization that has significantly impacted his professional approach. Serving a three-year term, Abugideiri hopes to expand access to pro bono financial planning, thus furthering the Foundation’s mission.

"Serving on the Board feels like a chance to give back to the Foundation for the experiences that helped me show up better for my Clients. We get to make a real impact with this work for people who need our help. It’s an honor to serve, and I look forward to working alongside the other Trustees to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives through pro bono financial planning, a necessary component of our profession’s identity," he stated.
