At the 2025 MDRT EDGE, held in Austin, Texas, the MDRT Foundation supported Central Texas Table of Grace, a local organization that provides critical emergency housing for displaced foster youth, while also teaching them life skills to persevere through challenges.

Founder Peter Baines shared the story of Hands Across the Water’s impact from the Main Platform stage at Top of the Table and MDRT member donors raised USD 133,576 to support their work.

New York City based financial advisor David C. Blake will lead the MDRT Foundation as its 60th President, succeeding Alessandro M. Forte, CFP, FCII.

Thanks to the generosity of meeting attendees, the MDRT Foundation awarded USD 275,953 to Seva. This was then matched, dollar-for-dollar, by an anonymous donor of Seva.
