No matter what your focus may be, we have the tools and software to delineate and customize your investment portfolio to your nonprofit’s specific areas of interest.

Meet Tom Doyle

We hired Tom Doyle as an additional element to further enrich the services we provide to our nonprofit clients. Tom joined the Becker Capital team for the dedicated purpose of supporting our nonprofit clients and their leaders. He brings a wealth of experience as a board and administrative leader for many nonprofits, making him highly attuned to the challenges that nonprofits typically face.

Tom has work and project experience in social services, education, healthcare, the arts, and the environment and has supported dozens of projects for nonprofits and foundations. In addition to an educational background that includes the liberal arts and theology, Tom also has an MBA—all of which position him as a strong and valuable conversation partner, whether the topic is financial statements or mission statements. Tom is passionate about developing leaders, and he has cultivated an extensive network that makes him a natural connector in our communities.
