Orangefield Columbus Gives Back to Community through Capital for Kids Charity

NEW YORK - Nov. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Orangefield Columbus, a global fund administrator that delivers high-touch services using a straight-forward approach and advanced technology, announced today its 2014 sponsorship of Capital for Kids, a charity that brings together a network of volunteers from the investment management industry to make a difference in the lives of children in need within the Northern Texas community. As a Piggy Bank Sponsor, Orangefield Columbus has pledged $10,000 to the organization alongside companies including Deutsche Bank, UBS Investment Bank, Deloitte & Touche, and Morgan Stanley.

In celebration of Capital for Kids’ ten year anniversary, the organization established a goal to grant $10 million within its ten year history to mark ten years of supporting North Texas childrens’ charities. Since its launch, the organization has donated more than $8 million to more than 50 different charitable organizations in North Texas. A fundraiser and auction to further this year’s goal to raise an additional $1.55 million in grants will be held on November 20, 2014 in Dallas, Texas. Proceeds help to provide safe shelter for abused children, foster mentoring relationships, expand educational opportunities and cultivate life skills that will lead children in need to a brighter future as contributing members of the community.

“Orangefield Columbus is committed to the development of underserved communities and is delighted to find a partner that shares our goal to give back from the investment management industry,” said Joe Holman, CEO of Orangefield Columbus. “As this year’s event draws closer, we encourage other companies to join together and help us achieve our collective goal to raise $10 million to celebrate ten years of giving back to children’s charities.”
