The Trust Company of Tennessee has a foundational dedication to serving the community, and we’ve made a renewed commitment to enhance our efforts through several channels.
The Trust Company of Tennessee
Our team’s culture of giving is so important – both as a company and on an individual level. We’ve worked to cultivate this mindset by being good community stewards, educators, supporters, thought leaders and service providers in meaningful ways.
Education: In full transparency, I believe that we have great people at The Trust Company, and each person has expertise that can help the clients and community. We seek ways to educate others on financial topics in many ways, such as this newsletter, which includes tax reminders and a story about goals-based wealth management from Laura Beeler.
Team members: We hire for values with one being community. We encourage our employees to find ways to be present in the community, and it is so interesting how people use their passions and personal experiences to serve. For example, this quarter’s spotlight article about Administrative Services Manager Cassie Brown reveals how she draws on her love of teaching children as a Muse Knoxville volunteer and her dad’s journey with Parkinson’s Disease as a motivator to serve the nonprofit PJ Parkinson’s Support.
Corporate support: Each quarter, we provide a snapshot of some of our community service in this newsletter, and we support important causes through sponsoring or attending nonprofit fundraising events. We get together for team volunteer events throughout the year as well, such as during Flowers After Hours in support of Random Acts of Flowers.
Business services: To better serve nonprofits, we’ve expanded our business through nonprofit investing services to help organizations strategically plan for managing, investing and creating a structure that is sustainable for the long term.
I’m so thankful to live in East Tennessee where the volunteer spirit is alive and well. As we continue to serve clients through a wide range of needs, we also will continue to find new and impactful ways to serve our communities. It is our responsibility and privilege to utilize our resources, time and skills as individuals and corporately to support organizations, causes and initiatives that make our community a better place.
