About Our Philanthropy Committee

The Philanthropy Committee is the charitable heart of the LMBA, dedicated to making a positive impact through fundraising and community support. This committee leads fundraising campaigns, identifies deserving organizations for charitable contributions, and develops strategic plans for each initiative. Beginning in 2026, the committee will also focus on raising funds for the proposed LMBA Scholarship Programs, providing financial support to Louisiana mortgage professionals pursuing SOMB classes, AMP designation, or CMB designation. Led by the Committee Chair, this team is committed to fostering a culture of giving and professional growth within the industry.
