Local Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Advisor Donates $20,000 Grant to Crescent Cove
Funding will support 24/7 care and medical services for children as part of company’s annual Community Service Awards
MINNETONKA, MN – Despite the ongoing challenges of the past year, a recent study found that 85% of nonprofit organizations had an increase in volunteerism requests, more than double pre-pandemic levels. Northwestern Mutual’s financial advisors have been no exception, as they continue to serve their communities where support is needed most. To spotlight these efforts, the company, through its Foundation, is awarding nearly $300,000 in grants to nonprofits nationwide as part of its 2021 Community Service Awards Program.
Sixteen financial advisors are recognized each year through this program for going above and beyond through volunteer service. As part of the award, each winner receives a grant to benefit a local nonprofit they support. Minnetonka resident Keith Moeller, a wealth management advisor at Northwestern Mutual – Minnetonka, has been chosen as a 2021 recipient of the award, receiving a $15,000 grant for Crescent Cove. Moeller has also received an additional $5,000 grant for supporting an organization with a connection to the company’s Childhood Cancer Program.
“No matter the odds, our advisors have remained committed to helping others,” said Eric Christophersen, president, Northwestern Mutual Foundation. “Their spirit and dedication is an inspiration and we’re proud to recognize the meaningful change they’ve accomplished.”
After learning from his wife, Diann, about the efforts to develop a residential facility to care for children with life-limiting diseases Keith was eager to learn how they could help. Since then, he’s been involved with Crescent Cove, a nonprofit that offers care to children and young adults with a shortened life expectancy and support to their families. As a member of the board of directors and Philanthropy Council, Keith provides financial guidance and marketing expertise to support fundraising operations. Each year, Keith sponsors and hosts a donor appreciation event, secures in-kind donations and helps recruit committee members and volunteers. Recently, he challenged local Rotary Clubs to raise funds for a new playground at Crescent Cove and raised $19,000 to make the project a reality.
“There is such a need for organizations like Crescent Cove, which is only one of three facilities in the United States that provides 24/7 respite care and support free of charge to children and their families,” said Moeller. “Crescent Cove offers children and young adults one-on-one attention and this grant will help support the caregivers and professionals, in addition to facility operations.”
Since 1995, the Northwestern Mutual Foundation has donated more than $6.3 million through its Community Service Awards program. This year’s winners were recently announced at the company’s virtual regional meeting.
