After learning about an opportunity to donate used medical equipment from his business to a community in Haiti, David Trogden tapped into the power of generosity.
The Trogden family’s involvement with overseas nonprofits continued to grow, and at the same time, David discovered that gifting a portion of privately held stock from his business would greatly fuel his and his wife Casey’s ability to give charitably.
David and Casey worked with The Signatry to make a large nonliquid donation to a donor advised fund before the sale of their medical equipment business. Using a donor advised fund at The Signatry for their generosity, the Trogdens are establishing a family culture of faith, tradition, and generosity with their two daughters.
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— including their two daughters—have served.
