Infinite Giving, a financial service firm for nonprofits, is working to build more sustainable nonprofits by helping them with investment opportunities. According to Infinite Giving CEO Karen Houghton, the firm offers a multitude of services for nonprofits, which are all designed to help them grow.

Houghton also notes that small to medium sized nonprofits often lack equitable access to investment strategies and asset giving, and that 90% of nonprofits in the United States don’t have a brokerage account, which means they can’t receive stock gifts to grow their giving.
