In 2020, Invest in Others presented Gil with an Honorable Mention in the Lifetime Achievement category for his philanthropy work in the Houston area.

Gil has donated more than $3 Million to local charities in the past five years.

*The Invest in Others (IiO) Awards recognizes the charitable work of financial advisors. Nominations are evaluated based on an advisor’s leadership, dedication, contribution, inspiration and impact on a nonprofit and the community it serves. Award finalists and recipients will receive grants from Invest in Others for their designated charities.

The Lifetime Achievement category is presented to an advisor who has made a profound contribution to a non-profit organization through an established history of distinguished service, where he or she exhibited leadership, provided inspiration, and gained recognition and respect from peers and the community over a period of at least 20 years, helping the organization evolve and creating a lasting impact on the future of the organization.

Neither rankings nor recognitions should be construed by a client or prospective client as a guarantee that the client will experience a certain level of results if the investment professional or the investment professional’s firm is engaged, or continues to be engaged, to provide investment advisory services. A fee was not paid by either the investment professional or the investment professional’s firm to receive the ranking. The ranking is based upon specific criteria and methodology. No ranking or recognition should be construed as an endorsement by any past or current client of the investment professional or the investment professional’s firm.  ANY QUESTIONS: Segment Wealth Management, LLC’s Chief Compliance Officer remains available to address any questions regarding rankings and/or recognitions, including the criteria used for any reflected rankings.

Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation

The mission of the Foundation is to improve the quality of life for Houstonians of all ages through the power of literacy—the ability to read, write, speak clearly, and think critically.

Memorial Assistance Ministries (MAM)

MAM’s mission is to assure that families have the means to meet their basic needs. To carry out that mission, they assist families facing financial crisis to avoid homelessness, offer programs to enable long-term financial self-sufficiency, assure children an improved school experience, facilitate client access to other support networks, and enhance MAM’s value to its member congregations and the community.
MAM clients live or work in Houston‘s central and close-in West and Northwest neighborhoods such as the Heights, Spring Branch, Acres Homes, Memorial, Jersey Village and more. Every year, MAM helps around 20,000 unique individuals (~5 unduplicated families) through its emergency and stabilization programs from rental and utility assistance, sack meals, household cleaning and hygiene supplies, medical, prescription, dental and mental health assistance and employment programs.
Each day, these families and individuals arrive at MAM’s doors bearing the weight of a financial crisis so big that they can no longer handle it alone – from imminent eviction, family hunger, the need for urgent medical care, or loss of transportation to their job.
Volunteer and paid caseworkers help MAM clients address their immediate need with a variety of emergency services including rental and utility assistance, food pantry referrals and sack meals, transportation vouchers, access to medical services and much more. Next, caseworkers and volunteers take the time to work with clients to untangle a web of underlying issues that will continue to threaten families’ long-term stability, like a job loss, illness or disability, or lack of language skills for better employment, need for family counseling and so on.

YoungLife

Young Life’s mission is to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith. Young Life doesn’t start with a program. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don’t happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency. Our leaders pray for young people, go where kids are, build relationships with them, win the right to be heard, provide experiences that are fun, adventurous, and life-changing… all in the hopes of sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. All of these things enable young people develop the skills, assets and attitudes to reach their full God-given potential.

The Gathering USA

The Gathering USA is a ministry of evangelism, discipleship and mission opportunities for men, engaging them to live fully alive. The Gathering was begun by Dr. John Tolson in 1978. Alarmed by the lack of spiritual direction men were providing for their families and the alarmingly low number of men attending church, John developed an appealing and effective way to reach men for Christ by mobilizing Christian men to invite their friends to a non-threatening outreach event in a secular setting.
