Last fall, Bell Institutional Investment Management kicked off a new event series in Fargo and Grand Forks called Giving Insights, which aims to connect area nonprofits and philanthropic leaders. 

The Giving Insights events featured meaningful discussions on charitable giving strategies and included presentations by Bryan Clontz, founder and president of Charitable Solutions, LLC. Bryan is a nationally recognized expert in charitable planning, with decades of experience in planned giving, risk management and consulting. His presentations touched on charitable giving trends and ideas, offering practical insights and real-world examples. 

Additionally, attendees had the opportunity to network with each other and our Bell Institutional team and to learn about the services we offer nonprofits, including: 

• Committee/board support
• Investment management
• Administrative support 
   

The Giving Insights series underscores our commitment to building relationships with local nonprofits and to helping nonprofits, foundations and endowments further their mission and amplify change in their communities. 

Bell Institutional is planning to hold similar Giving Insights events in Arizona and Minneapolis in the first half of 2026. Stay tuned!
