Richard & Kim Dixon Funds

Creating positive influences and family values for Marion youth are the driving forces behind the creation of this pair of new donor advised funds – the Richard & Kim Dixon Fund and Richard & Kim Dixon Family Fund – established by life-long Marion residents Richard and Kim Dixon. Richard, who unabashedly credits Kim as the “iconic” mother and foundation of their family, said they intend to recommend grants from the funds to support programs and organizations that benefit Marion County youth, especially those which develop young people socially, economically, educationally, and spiritually.

“Our family is very blessed,” he said, “but it is simply too easy for kids to fall into the trap of seeking a sense of belonging outside their family and to be swayed by bad influences. We want to direct the focus to positive family values.”

Richard has been affiliated with Marion Community Foundation for many years, serving as a local financial advisor, along with his firm 3-D Private Wealth Advisors. The firm started 38 years ago and the three D’s are Richard and his two sons, Brian and Alan, who have been with the firm 14 and 8 years, respectively. They are part of the Wells Fargo network of financial advisors, working out of their original offices in the heart of downtown Marion. Richard and Kim also have two daughters and 12 grandchildren.

“We are in the service business, the advice business,” Richard said of the firm. “We counsel families on their finances for school, retirement, and challenging expenses. Our motto is we want them to be successful in the one life God has given them.”
