Jake and Charlyn Plunk met at Texas Tech University while studying engineering and are passionate about education — especially STEM. They support local nonprofits through Communities Foundation of Texas’ North Texas Giving Day each year and established a donor-advised fund at CFT, The Plunk Family Fund, as a way to streamline their giving and involve their children in their generosity. “It’s been really meaningful to see which nonprofits they choose to support each year,” said Charlyn.
Witnessing their parents’ generosity and being the recipient of generosity through college scholarships was what inspired them to want to help others together as a family as soon as they had the opportunity to do so. “As parents, we’ve seen firsthand the difference that education can make in a young person’s life. Without the educational opportunities we had, we wouldn’t be where we are today,” said Charlyn.
