Last year, Stickney Research donated more than $32,500 in charitable planning services to nonprofit organizations and fundraising events throughout our community. We provided comprehensive charitable planning packages as auction items and mission-aligned gifts. These packages help families think more intentionally about tax strategy, estate coordination, and long-term philanthropic impact. As of February 2026, we have reached approximately 75% of our 2025 total. Our goal this year is to more than double last year’s impact. For us, this work reflects more than financial expertise. It reflects our belief that thoughtful planning strengthens families and the causes they care about. Through this work, we extend our mission beyond client relationships and into the broader community.

Employee Contributions
Beyond our firm’s formal charitable contributions, the people of Stickney Research support the causes and communities they care about in tangible ways. Team members participate in volunteer opportunities with various organizations. Many contribute financially within their individual means and support friends and neighbors through grassroots service projects. We view civic engagement as a personal responsibility that extends beyond the workplace. Through advocacy, volunteerism, and quiet acts of service, our employees live out the same values that guide our work with clients each day.
