Generosity First Business
Generosity-first business was always a goal for Brian and Krista Roland. Early in their marriage, they discovered a shared passion for sponsoring children in developing nations. As the family business grew, they found a creative way to center generosity in their company identity: For every new customer, the business sponsored an additional child in Senegal or Rwanda.
Not only did their approach strengthen the company’s relationships with new and potential customers, but it secured generosity as a priority. Brian told us, “[The company] did without certain software for a while, but we never missed it—and we made an awesome impact from day one.”
Impact remained a priority when it was time to sell the business and transition to a new season of life.
Brian and Krista realized they could maximize that impact by building a strategy that started before the sale. They donated part of the business to a donor advised fund at The Signatry. Once the business sold, Brian explained, “That stock gift was turned into a liquid gift. It set us up to continue fueling our ministry interests for a long time to come.”
The gift fueled their ministry in child sponsorship and education, strengthening their family’s relationships with the African Oasis Foundation and even taking them across the Atlantic to break ground on a new school in Rwanda.
“We were making the Lord a stakeholder in our business,” Brian said. “It cemented what we were already doing.”
