Hoffman Estates, IL — Clearwater Capital Partners announced the appointment of Katie Berganske as Executive Director of the Clearwater Capital Foundation, the firm’s philanthropic arm committed to driving meaningful, lasting change in the communities it serves.

The Clearwater Capital Foundation channels the firm’s time, expertise, and resources to nonprofits that reflect its values and vision for stronger communities. As Executive Director, Berganske will guide the Foundation’s strategic direction, with an emphasis on financial empowerment, supporting women and children, aiding those in need, and assisting veterans.

The Foundation embodies our belief that true success is measured by the positive impact we make on people’s lives,” said John Chapman, Founder and CEO of Clearwater Capital Partners. “Katie has played a pivotal role in shaping our brand, client experience, and community presence. Her leadership will guide the thoughtful and intentional use of the Foundation’s resources, with a focus on meaningful, measurable results.” Berganske, who also serves as Chief Revenue Officer, focuses on advancing the firm’s growth strategy, client experience, and market visibility across its private wealth, institutional advisory, and family office services.

“The Clearwater Capital Foundation empowers our firm to champion forward-thinking nonprofits making transformative impacts in our communities,” said Berganske. “We are dedicated to supporting organizations that uplift families, build stronger communities, and create positive lasting change for future generations.”
