Excellence in Giving Achieves $1 Billion in Charitable Grants

Excellence in Giving is honored to announce a remarkable milestone: since its founding in 2002, the firm has now facilitated more than $1 billion in charitable grants to nonprofit organizations and ministries worldwide.

Guided by founder Al Mueller’s vision and faith-driven calling, Excellence in Giving has helped generous families and organizations give with wisdom and impact. It took the firm's clients ten years to give the first $100 million, and in the years that followed, client generosity accelerated to surpass $1 billion in total grants. This achievement would not have been possible without the remarkable generosity of clients who have entrusted Excellence in Giving to help bring their vision for Kingdom impact to life.

This $1 billion achievement is more than a number. It represents lives changed, communities strengthened, and Kingdom impact across the globe. This milestone would not have been possible without the faithful dedication of the Excellence in Giving team, whose expertise and service have multiplied the reach and effectiveness of every gift. The firm’s approach combines rigorous philanthropic analysis with long-term personal relationships, helping donors align their giving with their deepest values.

Reflecting on the milestone, Mueller shared: “On a retreat with my son in 2012, God gave me a clear promise that I would one day advise families to give $1 billion. That promise seemed unreachable since it took us ten years to achieve our first $100 million in client giving. It is humbling to see the promise fulfilled—not because of our work alone, but because of the faithfulness of our clients, our team, and the goodness of God in directing every step.”

The Excellence in Giving team remains committed to its mission of serving generous stewards with excellence, ensuring that every grant has enduring impact for the causes and communities it touches.
