Denver Post - May 9, 2022
“Jones Financial, a Northwestern Mutual Private Client Group, has been named a 2022 Community Service Award winner, receiving a $15,000 grant for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Mike (Jones, CEO) has also received an additional $5,000 grant for supporting an organization with a connection to the company's Childhood Cancer Program”. “Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is particularly meaningful to me because so many of my colleagues have been directly affected by childhood cancer,” said Mike. Jones Financial is one of 17 advisors awarded grants by Northwestern Mutual for their commitment to positively impacting their communities through dedicated volunteer service.
Giving back to the communities we serve is a value deeply rooted in Jones Financial. The team regularly supports The Action Center, a local organization that helps those in our community experiencing hardship and offers the resources and services needed to stabilize lives and promote pathways of lasting change. The Jones Financial team volunteers for the organization's annual School Drive by helping supply and hand out backpacks to students and families in their time of need.
Additionally, the team hosts an annual holiday giving party in support of the organization's Toy Drive for children. Each year, clients and business partners attend and provide 75-100 new, unwrapped toys for parents to choose from in The Action Center's Holiday Gift Shop, so they can wrap and give their children gifts during the holiday season.
