40 Years of Impact

Celebrating Our Legacy, Giving to the Future

To commemorate 40 years of thoughtful planning and enduring relationships, PDS Planning is launching a charitable giving initiative that reflects the values we—and our clients—hold dear … community, compassion, and connection.

We’re proud to spotlight three remarkable organizations that make a difference in the lives of others, each selected by our team for their impact and alignment with causes close to our hearts.

Between now and October 31st, clients, friends, and members of our extended community are invited to vote for the organization you’d most like us to support. At the end of the campaign, the charity with the most votes will receive a $10,000 donation, with $1,000 granted to each of the runners-up.
