For decades as a financial advisor, Dave carefully curated his clients’ accounts to ensure they are sustainable and profitable.

As he matured as an advisor, he also encouraged his clients to consider their legacy. One way he’s helped them build a legacy is through philanthropy.

“[Advisors] can learn from organizations like the Community Foundation [for Northeast Georgia] who bring in experts,” he said. “These people who have been doing this for many years tell us things, and I think, ‘I never thought about it that way. I never knew to do that.’ And we learn to serve our clients better.”

Through resources and connections advisors find through CFNEG's Professional Advisors Network, they can refine their planning skills.

“Where the real leap occurs,” Dave said, “is when we begin to talk to them about creating their legacy.

“When you start talking to clients about these things, you don’t lose business. They’re ‘stickier’ and see you in a different way. They’re amazed that you’re talking to them about creating a legacy, and they’re excited.”

The Children’s Haven doesn’t just support the kids. Through visitation services, the organization is impacting parents and caregivers too.

“Reunification [of children with biological parents] is always the goal until it’s not. Without a safe space to visit and caring individuals trained to support families in the very best ways, it’s hard to get an accurate picture of how the parent might actually parent or the struggles they might have,” Executive Director Marcie Smith shared.

Within the walls of the Wellstar Family Visitation Center, moms working hard to bring their children home aren’t missing their child’s first steps. Parents working together toward recovery can celebrate their child’s milestones in person, instead of from afar.

“One little girl was visiting for her birthday, and the family brought in a unicorn balloon and all the fun stuff you would do at your house,” Michelle Meek, director of community engagement, said.

“Her story is so cool because there were around eight nonprofits and churches that touched the lives of that family. This community of people, our CASA program and our Wellstar Family Visitation program came alongside them, and now they have their daughter back.”

Over 40 years ago, a judge in Seattle saw that everyone in the courtroom had an attorney or advocate in their corner — except some of the most vulnerable.

The kids.

This judge gathered community volunteers together to advocate for children navigating instability and foster care. This is where Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers were born.

“When kids are at a sporting event or a play, they look into the audience and look for the special people in their lives,” shared Michelle Meek, director of community engagement at The Children’s Haven.

“The kids we work with have special people who aren’t doing well. They’re trying to heal and hopefully have their children come back home. The CASA volunteers are steady people in the kids’ lives that kids can count on.”
