Tom Whitehurst – Catalyst for Change

The Invest in Others Charitable Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to amplifying, celebrating, and inspiring the charitable work of the financial services community. Tom was among 15 finalists nominated for the 2025 Invest in Others Awards Gala.

“Each year, the Invest in Others Awards recognize financial advisors who are making a significant difference through their charitable work,” said Barkley Payne, President and CEO of Invest in Others Charitable Foundation. “This year’s finalists demonstrate the power of leadership, compassion, and volunteerism in driving community impact through their favorite charities. We are proud to celebrate their efforts and support the nonprofits they serve through national recognition and direct funding.”

In lieu of the general award, Raymond James chose to honor Tom in a truly special way—creating a heartfelt tribute and making a generous donation to Casa Familia in recognition of his remarkable work and lasting impact.
