Empowering Tomorrow Together

Empowering Tomorrow Together

We envision a future where nonprofit organizations flourish through strategic partnerships, innovative resource sharing, and an unwavering dedication to fiduciary excellence.

Our founding organizations strive to set the industry standard for delivering secure, personalized care while upholding the highest standards of transparency and accountability. We help support that goal through collaboration, innovation, and resource sharing to streamline service delivery, enhance financial sustainability, and ensure business continuity, securing a brighter future for our stakeholders.

Our Story

Secured Alliance was formed from the partnership of two nonprofit organizations, The Good Shepherd Fund (GSF) and Secured Futures (SF). GSF, founded in the 1970s, focused on special needs services and guardianships in the western U.S., while SF, established in 2008, offered national pooled trust administration aided by proprietary technology. In 2016, GSF leaders Tom Avramis and Nathan Schnackenberg connected with SF’s CEO Linda Beiler, recognizing the potential for collaboration. Rather than merging, they created Secured Alliance in 2018, consolidating administration in Phoenix to support both organizations’ missions. This partnership has enhanced service delivery and created new growth opportunities, ensuring a brighter future for those we serve.
