David Trogden works with several overseas nonprofits to create more opportunities for gospel outreach and stronger communities in underserved areas. It all began when he donated medical equipment from his business to a group in Haiti.

Today, David leverages a unique but simple tax strategy by using a donor advised fund (DAF). By gifting business interest to a DAF before the sale of his business, he is able to save on potential capital gains taxes and reduce his overall adjusted gross income. This business interest gift strategy allows even more dollars to flow to the charities he supports.

Now, the Trogdens are supporting over twenty-six organizations globally, and are connecting with problem-solving CEOs and other business leaders to maximize their resources to impact the communities their family serves.
