As the year draws to a close, lights twinkle in windows across our communities – each one telling a different story, celebrating different traditions, but all sharing in the warmth of the season. From our community to yours, we wish you moments of joy, peace, and connection as you celebrate with those who matter most.
Last Tuesday was Giving Tuesday, and we turned one day into a full season of impact. For our employees working virtually or at one of our campuses, there are countless ways to make a difference: volunteer events, community initiatives, or our LPL Day of Giving, where every donation —even as little as $5 —helps create pathways to financial services careers in underserved communities. Through the LPL Foundation's partnerships with organizations like Girls Who Invest, The American College of Financial Services, Greenwood Project, and CFP Board, we're building a more inclusive future for our industry —one act of service at a time.

Every unique perspective at our table makes us better listeners, stronger problem-solvers, and more innovative thinkers.

Every great journey begins with an opportunity. That's why today, we're proud to announce $1M+ in grants through the LPL Foundation to four groundbreaking organizations shaping a more inclusive future for finance: The American College of Financial Services, CFP Board, Girls Who Invest, and Greenwood Project. These partnerships will create scholarships, internships, and mentorship programs that open doors for underrepresented talent. Because when financial professionals reflect the communities they serve, everyone wins. Over the past four years, we've invested $2.5 million in organizations working to diversify the next generation of financial professionals. But the numbers only tell part of the story. The real impact happens one career at a time, as talented individuals from under-resourced communities step into roles where they can help families build generational wealth.
This week, the LPL Product Tech team had a great time celebrating Diwali together in Fort Mill, Austin, Jersey City, and San Diego. We shared our own thoughts about the importance of the holiday. Thanks to everyone who helped make this celebration a special one.
