Gift Includes Employee Contributions and Reflects a Personal Connection to the Hospital

OpenArc Corporate Advisory today announced the first major contribution from its newly established charitable arm, the OpenArc Foundation. The foundation donated $100,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, with an additional $6,360 contributed by OpenArc team members, bringing the total donation to $106,360.

The partnership with St. Jude is deeply personal for the OpenArc community. Emily Fletcher, Managing Partner, Chief Operating Officer at OpenArc, is the mother of a St. Jude patient whose life was saved following a brain tumor diagnosis during high school.

“St. Jude gave our family hope during the most difficult time of our lives,” said Ms. Fletcher. “The exceptional care and groundbreaking research at St. Jude saved my daughter’s life. Supporting their mission isn’t just philanthropy for us. It’s personal.”

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a leader in the research and treatment of childhood cancer and other serious pediatric illnesses. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for care, travel, housing, or meals.

In September 2025, OpenArc created the OpenArc Foundation in tandem with its launch as an independent RIA, formalizing its long-standing commitment to philanthropy. The firm also introduced the OpenArc Charitable Fund, dedicating a portion of annual net profits to underserved communities across the U.S.

These initiatives, led by Managing Partner Jim Kaufman, reflect a cultural foundation built over more than two decades.

“OpenArc was established on the belief that financial success and social responsibility go hand in hand,” said Mr. Kaufman. “There was no question that our first major gift would go to St. Jude — their mission aligns with our values, and we’re proud to support their extraordinary work.”
