As a native Chattanoogan and Professional Wealth Advisor, Jennifer Harper knows the value of aligning charitable intent with tangible community impact. From her perspective as a donor and advisor, she sees the importance of building strategy that combines tactical, financial expertise with the deep community expertise and responsiveness of the Community Foundation. That’s why she recommends us to her clients. It’s also why she and her husband, Tony, partner with us to achieve their own philanthropic goals.

As legacy donors, the Harpers worked with the Community Foundation team on a long-term strategy for lasting gifts in four areas: financial stability, women’s leadership, natural resource conservation and access, and childhood literacy. Legacy for them is about leaving the world a better place. The Foundation’s big-picture view of the community allows them to connect their generosity to meaningful action and impact in the community.
