From Business Sale to Global Mission: The Trogden Family’s Journey
When David and Casey Trogden sold their medical equipment company, they saw more than a financial opportunity; they saw a chance to serve.
After donating medical equipment to a nonprofit in Haiti, the Trogdens leaned deeper into generosity. With help from The Signatry, they gave a portion of their company stock to a donor advised fund before the sale—allowing them to reduce their tax burden and dramatically expand their giving capacity.
Today, their family supports over 26 organizations worldwide and is establishing a legacy of faith and purpose with their two daughters.
Selling a business is more than a transaction—it’s an opportunity to fuel something far greater.
This guide will equip you with the key questions to ask before the sale, so you can make a decision that honors your values, your family, and your faith.
You’ll learn how to:
- Recognize when you’re financially and emotionally ready to sell your business
- Make decisions that align your sale with your mission and values
- Maximize the charitable impact of your business transition
- Use tools like donor advised funds to steward your giving well
- Guide your family through the process with wisdom and clarity
