RSM's "Season of Service" Campaign Helps Communities Thrive

Campaign surpasses fundraising goal

CHICAGO – (April 8, 2022) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the nation’s leading provider of audit, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market – has concluded its third annual “Season of Service” campaign and is pleased to announce that the firm surpassed its fundraising goal.

RSM’s “Season of Service” is a stewardship opportunity that honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and offers a chance for the firm’s people to serve others by sharing their time, talents and resources throughout the holiday season. It is through this campaign, led by RSM’s African American and Canadian Excellence (AACE) employee network group (ENG), that RSM’s people from across the U.S. and Canada can support the communities where they live and work by volunteering for and/or donating to deserving charitable organizations.

During this year’s “Season of Service” there were a number of opportunities for RSM’s people to make a positive impact in their local communities, including:

• Donating to the Racial Understanding Campaign or the RSM US Foundation.
• Participating in a local #HashTagLunchBag activity to make and deliver meals for the homeless within various metropolitan communities. Those who were unable to pack lunches were able to contribute by shopping for supplies.

It is through these collective efforts that the firm raised more than $70,000 in donations and Dollars for Doers grants from the RSM US Foundation – approximately 450 of RSM’s people completed more than 1,000 hours of community service through the campaign, which contributed to a nearly $30,000 increase of funds raised through this effort compared to last year.

“If we’ve learned anything over the past two years, it is that our communities need us,” said Shannel Clubb, principal and national AACE ENG leader with RSM US LLP. “I am proud of our AACE ENG members and allies who joined us in helping to make a positive change within our communities. Together, we are the change that we seek.”
