At Pentas we are strong believers in giving back to our communities and advocates of supporting organizations that make our communities stronger. Members of our team not only volunteer with local and state organizations, but serve on the boards of several non-profit as we believe that giving our time is an investment in our communities. Annually, every team member is given eight hours of paid time to volunteer at the organization of their choice and Pentas makes a contribution to the organizations that the team members support individually. Over the past five years Pentas Wealth Management has donated in excess of $100,000 to the charities and non-profits in the communities in which we work and live. Fostering community engagement is one reason Pentas is recognized in the community and another reason why clients seek out the advisors at Pentas.

Pentas employees make it a priority each year to support our local United Way chapter. In our most recent volunteer effort, we participated in Colquitt County United Way’s 25th annual Day of Action. During the event, we spent time aiding the American Red Cross, where over 150 disaster relief comfort kits were prepared to distribute to local crisis victims. At Pentas, we believe in the importance of giving back to our community, and we are thankful for any chance to help those in need.
