RSM US’ India Team Generates $130,000 USD Dollars for Doers Grant Through Local Volunteer Efforts

CHICAGO – (August 3, 2023) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the nation’s leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market – recently held its second volunteer event in India in alignment with RSM’s Power of Love campaign. More than 1,000 RSM employees volunteered both virtually and in-person with Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vahini (SSSVV), an organization committed to providing digital resources to help reduce the educational inequities that exist in India, and United Way, an organization focused on creating equitable communities in health, education and economic mobility.

RSM US’s team in India generated the largest Power of Love volunteer grant to date with more than 8,000 hours of volunteering ($130,000 USD) through the RSM US Foundation’s Dollars for Doers program, surpassing their own record-breaking 2022 grant of $79,000 USD. In just two years, RSM’s India team has spent more than 13,000 hours and given more than $200,000 USD in Dollars for Doers grants to United Way of Hyderabad. And they’ve started off this year’s Power of Love season (which runs August 1 through September 30) strong.

“The RSM US Foundation is dedicated to building tomorrow’s middle market leaders by enhancing educational outcomes through programs for individuals so they can become entrepreneurs or middle market business leaders, and by supporting organizations committed to providing a more stable environment for youth in the areas of hunger, housing or health, which will help them excel in education,” said Doug Opheim, chief financial officer with RSM US LLP and chairman of the board of directors of the RSM US Foundation. “As our firm continues to grow, so does our foundation, and we are thrilled to support the stewardship efforts of our colleagues in India – and elsewhere.”

“I admire the incredible efforts of our people and their commitment to making a difference by creating an environment that fosters learning, aspiration and pride,” said Prasad Balakrishnan, RSM US’s India team leader. “Together, we can create positive change in our community.”
