The Results

In only a few months since establishing the donor advised fund in March of 2020, The HIVE Fund had granted more than $17,000 into the community. And that was just the beginning. Four short years later, the HIVE Fund has contributed more than $85,000 in charitable gifts to local causes.

Mya and her team plan to continue volunteering with The Sanneh Foundation and Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, as well as branching out to support other nonprofits.

“It’s a great privilege to work with local organizations and focus on helping neighbors feel safe and happy in their homes,” Mya said.

The needs in the Twin Cities are rapidly changing, and the flexibility of The HIVE Fund allows Mya to be nimble and respond quickly with her charitable planning. You can visit The HIVE's website to see them in action or reach out if your initiative could use their support.

"Mya is an excellent example of someone in our community who saw a need, had an ability to contribute, and through a partnership with us, came up with a unique way to execute her philanthropic vision,” said Associate Vice President of Philanthropic Services Mai-Anh Tran.

“There are thousands of ways to make a difference — and not one of them has to look alike," Mai-Anh said. "This is where we come in. We know the community, we know the work of nonprofits, and we know how to work with donors to bring their visions to life.”
