Chicory Clients Support the Wider Community
We know that charitable giving is key to financial health, but we do it for the peace and joy it brings. The original name of the group was Maggie’s Giving Group, in honor of our CEO Maggie Kulyk who started it in 2007. In early 2023 the name was changed to Chicory Giving Group to reflect its growing impact.
Each year Chicory Wealth’s clients nominate organizations to be considered as beneficiaries of an annual fundraising event. Chicory Giving Group board members then choose two final organizations. Our goals align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. As of 2022, Chicory Giving Group had raised approximately $162,000 for community organizations since its inception in 2007.
We will be announcing our 2023 Chicory Giving Group charities in September 2023.
