Sammons Financial Group has donated $50,000 to the Children and Family Urban Movement (CFUM), a non-profit organization that supports children and families through academic programs in the Des Moines community. The donated funds will allow CFUM to upgrade its technology infrastructure for both staff and participating youth to better meet the needs of computer technology in the classroom.

"That is one of the things that Sammons does best. With its commitment and investment in the community, Sammons makes us all feel that our life together and our mutual success is of great value and worthy of investment."
