Gibbs Gives: Supporting Local Nonprofits in Bloomington

Giving back has always been an important part of my business. In 2025, I continued the Gibbs Gives tradition by donating $100 from every closing to a local nonprofit, chosen by my clients.

This year, clients selected from four organizations doing meaningful work in our community: the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington, CanopyBloomington, Exodus Refugee Immigration, and the Mobility Aids Lending Library.

One of my favorite parts of this program happens every January. My team and I visit each organization from the past year’s Gibbs Gives program to deliver the donations in person. These visits give us a better understanding of their work and allow us to share their impact more thoughtfully with our network.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington

During our visit to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington, we toured one of their club locations and learned more about their programs. Their mission is to help young people reach their full potential as caring, productive, and responsible citizens. Across four locations, they serve about 750 kids each day! Learn more here. 

CanopyBloomington

We met with CanopyBloomington at Switchyard Park, one of the places where they partner with the City of Bloomington to plant and care for trees. Their focus is on growing and managing the city’s urban forest in a way that supports equity and long-term sustainability. Their work benefits both the environment and the people who live here.

Exodus Refugee Immigration

At Exodus Refugee Immigration, we learned about the local support provided to refugees as they build new lives in Bloomington. The organization helps individuals and families who are fleeing persecution, injustice, and war. Their work is complex, compassionate, and deeply important to our community. Learn more here.

Mobility Aids Lending Library

And finally, Mobility Aids Lending Library (MALL). MALL provides free medical and mobility equipment, including canes, walkers, scooters, and wheelchairs, to individuals in Bloomington and surrounding areas. Whether someone needs a mobility aid temporarily or long-term, or has equipment they no longer need and would like to donate, MALL plays a vital role in meeting practical, everyday needs in our community.
