Professional Advisors play a critical role in the success of IECF. In order to receive the distinction of a Champion, a Professional Advisor must either establish an endowment or a fund in their own name or in the name of their family, or refer a client who then establishes an endowment or fund at IECF.
In the case of one Professional Advisor out of many, IECF has received a significant number of gifts from clients that Michael J. Cosgrove serves. Michael Cosgrove opened the Cosgrove, Cosgrove & Humphrey law firm in 1977. During his time practicing in the desert, Michael has acted as a settlement Judge Pro Tem for the Riverside County Superior Court, as a fee arbitrator for the Desert Bar Association, and as the past president of the Rotary Club of Rancho Mirage. He’s also a member of the College of the Desert Planned Giving Committee. Michael continues to stay involved in his community as a member of the Desert Bar Association and the Living Desert Planned Giving Committee. IECF is grateful for Michael’s continued support of our work in the region.
