We believe in being contributing members of the communities we serve. Through our Generous Community Giving program, GCG advisors and staff participate in community service activities. Each month a team from GCG selects and participates in a worthy local charitable project.

Our culture rewards teamwork. Whether we are working for you, or helping in our communities, we do it together.
