"Some people create success. Others create significance.
Today, I want to recognize Andy Ragone, CGPP, MDiv and Kimberly Jetton, MNM, CFRE for the incredible work they are doing through Pleiades Nonprofit Advisors.
What stands out to me is their ability to connect generosity with purpose. They help organizations think bigger, plan smarter, and build lasting impact through thoughtful philanthropic and legacy-giving strategies.
Andy and Kim bring a rare combination of expertise, integrity, and vision to their work. They understand that behind every gift is a person who wants to make a difference, and behind every mission is an opportunity to create a better future.
The work they do today will help shape outcomes for years to come. That's the power of leadership focused on legacy.
Thank you, Andy and Kim, for the positive impact you make and for helping others turn purpose into lasting change."

"Evidence of PG Marketing ROI: We have a donor that has been reading the e-newsletters, eblasts, and visiting the website. He wants to retain a life estate for approximately 8 years on his primary residence. Then sell the house and donate the proceeds to the Engineering College. The ultimate gift to the College will be $1Million+."
