Osaic Foundation

When people think about charity, they think about giving money or time. But it’s more than that. It’s about what that money does—and what that time spent leads to. It’s about relationships and community. And impact.

The Osaic Foundation brings together all the ways financial professionals, institution programs, and employees—give back with intention in communities.

“You have to lead with a servant’s heart. Servant leaders are who we are, and though being active in charities and charitable activities isn’t new, we now aspire to something bigger”, said Lon Dolber, Osaic Foundation Chairman / Osaic Vice Chair.

The Osaic Foundation brings together the causes that are important to prioritize where we can have the most meaningful impact and make our communities—and relationships—even stronger. Thank you, Osaic Foundation for your generosity in recognizing our Lifetime Member, Dino Querze of Querze Wealth Management with this generous gift to the Umbrella Club.

For further information about making a major gift, please contact us and someone will be in touch with you shortly.
