Howard Capital Management Launches National Philanthropic Group

New Philanthropic Advisory, Led by Veteran Philanthropic Advisor Amy Hogan, Helps Advisors Guide Clients Toward More Strategic, Impactful Charitable Giving

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Howard Capital Management, LLC (HCM), an SEC-registered investment advisory firm, today announces the launch of HCM National Philanthropic Group (HCM-NPG), a philanthropic advisory created to equip financial advisors with the expertise, resources, and support they need to guide charitable planning strategies for clients.

"Every wealth management business is driven first and foremost by relationships. Engaging clients beyond their portfolios is key for strengthening those relationships and keeping those assets under management from generation to generation," said Vance Howard, CEO and Portfolio Manager, Howard Capital Management. "We established HCM National Philanthropic Group to provide advisors with specialized expertise, resources, and solutions that bring value to their practice and their clients."

HCM-NPG is a philanthropic advisory service available to HCM clients built on three pillars:

• Philanthropic Planning: HCM-NPG helps clients build a clear strategy for achieving their charitable goals. This specialized planning provides advisors and their clients with a roadmap for making an impact on important causes in the most effective way possible.
• Ongoing Education and Advisor Support: Advisors do not need to be philanthropic experts. HCM-NPG equips them with the knowledge and resources to confidently start the conversation with clients and seamlessly hand it off to the HCM-NPG team, backed by the same level of expertise and service clients already expect from HCM.
• A White-Labeled Donor-Advised Fund: In partnership with TIFIN Give, a technology-first donor-advised fund (DAF) platform, HCM-NPG is launching a white-labeled DAF available exclusively to HCM clients.

To lead HCM-NPG, Howard Capital Management has welcomed Amy Hogan, a philanthropic advisor with more than 20 years of experience in both the nonprofit and public sectors, as Managing Director. Ms. Hogan has held senior fundraising and advisory positions at global, national, and local nonprofit organizations including Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), Communities In Schools, and Holy Innocents' Episcopal School. She holds the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP®) and Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designations, and earned her BA in political science and sociology from the University of New Orleans.

"Serving advisors to help clients give strategically and achieve their charitable goals is something I'm passionate about. I see this practice as a way to truly optimize the impact of philanthropy and expand the ripples in the pond," said Amy Hogan, Managing Director, HCM National Philanthropic Group. "Howard Capital Management has always been an innovator, constantly focused on improvement and advancement. HCM-NPG is the latest demonstration of this commitment, and I'm thrilled to lead it."
