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 this 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 are excited to announce the two charities we’ll be fundraising for at our October 7 event in Atlanta, Georgia: Ahimsa House and Conservation Fisheries, Inc.! We hope you will consider donating to one or both of them, either in person at the event, or otherwise. If you will be donating but won’t be attending the event, we would appreciate you letting us know about your donation, so we can keep a tally of how much is raised. Contact us at [email protected] to let us know about your Chicory Giving Group donation. And thank you!
Please watch the short video below about these two organizations.
Ahimsa House, which is pronounced “uh-HIM-sah” and means “nonviolence” in Sanskrit, was founded in 2004 by Emily Christie after she lost a pet to domestic violence. Ahimsa House became Georgia’s first and only organization dedicated to helping the human and animal victims of domestic violence reach safety together. Services include a 24-hour statewide crisis line, veterinary care, assistance in transporting pets, pet food and supplies, assistance in including pets in safety planning, and legal advocacy to assist victims.
Conservation Fisheries Inc. is dedicated to the preservation of aquatic biodiversity in rivers and streams by working to slow the increasing imperilment of native freshwater fishes in the Southeastern United States. In their efforts, they have propagated more than 80 non-game fish species, including some of the most imperiled species in the Southeast. Whether they are supporting fish populations that are in decline or propagating fish for other facilities, they are the leaders in propagating rare and difficult-to-collect species.
There are so many amazing organizations out there doing great work in our communities. Here are the other organizations that were nominated for Chicory Giving Group this year. We hope you will explore all of them.
