GIVING BACK

Russ Murphy is passionate about giving back through charity as well as impact investing.  Russ is also involved with various non-profit organizations. As a result, Russ’ mission is to seek and find likeminded business partners who share the same passion.

Russ sits on the Board of Aspen Heights Awake, a local and global nonprofit organization located in Austin, TX.  AH Awake is engaged throughout Africa, where they are committed to balancing its efforts between trade and aid, equipping entrepreneurs to be "job creators" prepared to change the future of Eastern Africa while tending to the reality that many young people need access to quality education and nutrition as a foundation for individual growth and future impact. Their strategic partnerships provide individuals relief from the burden of poverty and access to a brighter future through education, leadership development and job creation. Locally, Aspen Heights Awake actively participates in local communities in every city where Aspen Heights has properties, partnering with its residents and contributing time and resources to see their communities change for the better.

Russ is also a partner in multiple endeavors with Vestment Global Services.  VGS works with innovative companies, non-profits and individuals to integrate purpose with profit. VGS has the unique connections to invest in opportunities through a trusted network before many have the opportunity. VGS enhances those investments with strategic advisory services to equip aspiring leaders, developing platforms to scale excellence globally and innovating impact investing.
