Our Mission
Founded in 2016, KTA Funding Hope Foundation is dedicated to providing financial assistance for both individuals and animals who are disadvantaged through no fault of their own. We passionately strive to inspire hope to help better their lives and spirits.
KTA Funding Hope is the charitable branch of Kistler-Tiffany Advisors. The foundation is located in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. Since our mission is to provide help, we don’t specifically limit where we might offer support. The foundation is more focused on how we can provide assistance versus where that assistance is needed.

Kistler-Tiffany Funding Hope Foundation met at Martha’s Choice Marketplace and Community Farm
Audubon, PA – On Friday March 18, 2022, board members from the Kistler-Tiffany Funding Hope Foundation met at Martha’s Choice Marketplace and Community Farm. The Foundation was there to donate $10,000.00 to help grow their garden program. In the picture below, this area will soon be transformed with 80 pergolas, a mushroom room, and 60 raised garden beds.
Eli Wenger, Director of Operations for Martha’s Choice stated the Kistler-Tiffany Funding Hope Foundation empowered Martha’s to begin its new Power Garden along the walking and learning Food Power Path. The Food Power Path empowers people through growing food and community all while having a little fun along the way. This year Martha’s Choice has a goal to grow and donate over 10,000 lbs. of food.
The Foundation board members (Kristine Moore, Maureen Manion, Steve Gothard, and Dave Kovach – presenting the check) were provided a tour of this amazing facility. Joining Eli Wenger were Patrick Walsh, Jesse Antonini, Sam Martino, and Dr. James Black, Director, Youth Services Division, Catholic Social Services.
Martha’s Choice is always looking for assistance if you think you might like to get involved. You’re invited to become one of Martha’s Miracles. Also, on Saturday May 14, 2022, Martha’s Choice is having a community day. There will be music, a dunk tank, and demonstrations about growing food. What, you don’t think that’s interesting? How about growing shitake mushrooms in logs instead of in the ground or their reforesting efforts using native Pennsylvania trees and shrubs. There’s something for everyone at Martha’s Choice. Stop by sometime and check it out. Martha’s Choice is across the street from the now shuttered St Gabriel’s Hall on Pawlings Road in Audubon, PA.
