IFE was established in 1985 by Ms. Toigo and her late husband and business partner, Bob Toigo, to provide educational services to large institutional investors. Over 3,000 institutional investors have attended week-long IFE seminars worldwide.

The Toigo Foundation was started in 1989 to help change the face of finance by providing fellowships and summer internships to talented minorities while attending MBA programs, as well as mentors, job placement services, and ethics and leadership training for their entire careers. The Toigo Foundation supports 130 students each year at 17 top business schools around the United States and has over 800 alumni in the financial services industry globally.

As the executive director of the Children’s Alliance, she helped community groups establish child care centers throughout California and has infant and toddler programs for the children of migrant farm workers named for her in French Camp, California. A graduate with honors from the University of California at Berkeley, she has been inducted into Berkeley’s Women’s Hall of Fame. Ms. Toigo serves on the Columbia Business School Board of Overseers, on the boards of NeuralIQ, a cyber security company, and Altrushare Securities, the first traditional brokerage in the US with a non-profit ownership structure. A portion of AltruShare profits goes to the Toigo Foundation each year.

Ms. Toigo has served as a visiting Woodrow Wilson Fellow at universities in Texas, Nebraska, and Indiana, and spoken on behalf of the U.S. State Department in Australia, New Zealand, Syria, and Chile.
