As we move deeper into the season of fall and gratitude, it’s a meaningful time here at U-Vest®! From supporting important causes like Military Family Month and local community initiatives, to giving back through events like Giving Tuesday and helping families plan for the future, this season reminds us of the importance of preparation, generosity, and reflection.
Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening and how we can support you in finishing the year strong while giving back to our community!
Supporting Tallahassee Animal Shelter Pets This Giving Tuesday
This season, U-Vest® is proud to support the Tallahassee Animal Shelter Foundation’s Giving Tuesday Community Drive as one of the 2025 Matching Donors. That means every dollar donated—up to $40,500—will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact for local shelter pets.
The ASF’s goal this year is to raise $81,000 to support animals in need across our community, and thanks to the matching fund, they’re already halfway there. The Giving Tuesday Drive is running now through Tuesday, December 2, 2025, and every contribution helps provide vital care, treatments, and support programs
In the past year alone, more than 6,200 animals benefited from ASF services. Your donation helps fuel programs like:
- Tally Spay, which has performed over 14,000 low-cost sterilization surgeries
- Special Veterinary CareandHeartworm Help
- Low-Cost Doggie Manners Classes
- HOPES (Helping Owned Pets Evade Sheltering)
- Foster care and enrichment programs, including sleepovers, transport initiatives, and supplies
This Giving Tuesday, we hope you’ll consider supporting the Animal Shelter Foundation—your generosity will make twice the impact, and help more shelter pets find safe, loving, forever homes. Donate Here!
Honoring Military Family Month at U-Vest®
November is a time to recognize the strength, resilience, and sacrifice of military families, including the spouses, children, and loved ones who stand behind those who serve. Their commitment often comes with frequent moves, career disruptions, and financial uncertainty, making stability and long-term planning all the more important.
At U-Vest®, we’re proud to support the families who support our nation. Whether you’re navigating benefits, planning for deployment, managing transitions, or preparing for life after service, our advisors are here to help you build a strong financial foundation and a confident future.
If you or someone you love is a military family, don’t hesitate to reach out!
