CPS Investment Advisors Wins Philanthropic Corporation of the Year

CPS Investment Advisors received the award for Philanthropic Corporation of the Year. Their philanthropic foundation began with founder Chas P. Smith more than 45 years ago. Today it’s almost impossible to walk into any charity event or program and not find CPS team members sponsoring, supporting, promoting, and campaigning on behalf of each charity. Their philanthropic reach is truly incredible and stretches over dozens of organizations and causes. In 2020, the CPS team started its own 501c3 “CPS Cares” dedicated to assisting the team with all of its philanthropic endeavors. Congratulations to the CPS Investment Advisors team on this outstanding and well-deserved recognition.

Congrats again to all the 2020 NPD nominees, finalists, and winners!
