FAIRFIELD, IA — June 27, 2024 — Cambridge, a financial solutions firm with office locations in Iowa and Arizona, has been recognized by the Grateful Giving Foundation as one of the “Most Giving Companies in Iowa.” This report highlights businesses leading the state in charitable giving, celebrating small, medium, and large organizations in Iowa that demonstrate an unwavering commitment to community service and philanthropy. Cambridge, which serves 900 associates and 3,800 financial professionals across the country, was included among organizations in the “large companies” category.
