Ron Baldwin

Uncommon Giving Corporation was founded in 2018 by entrepreneur Ron Baldwin, who spent most of his 45-year career as a banking executive. His passion for extraordinary service and building relationships was the foundation most recently for de novo CrossFirst Bank, which grew to $3.5 billion in assets under his leadership, and in 2019 completed its initial public offering to trade on NASDAQ. Since 2018, when Baldwin transitioned to chairman emeritus, he has dedicated his energy to cultivating a bold new vision for serving others through giving. Before founding CrossFirst Bank, Ron spent a majority of his banking career in leadership at Fourth Financial Corporation/BANK IV which grew from $200 million to $8 billion in assets before being acquired by Bank of America. He then became President and COO at Intrust Bank which increased assets from $1.2 billion to $3.2 billion during his nearly 10-year term. Over the course of his banking career, Ron led the acquisition of more than 60 financial institutions. Ron previously served as a member of The Global Orphan Project’s Founders’ Circle; board member of The Signatry, A Global Christian Foundation; chairman of the Wichita State Foundation, with assets totaling $150 million; and as an independent trustee for American Independence Funds.
