RSM’s Power of Love Program Raises More Than $41 Million

Funds support children and families served by nonprofits where RSM’s people live and work

CHICAGO – (November 16, 2023) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the nation’s leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market, and title sponsor of The RSM Classic – was pleased to present the Davis Love Foundation with a more than $4.7 million donation from RSM’s employee-led Power of Love program, bringing the grand total raised to-date through the tournament to $41,185,590. The funds will support nonprofit organizations focused on children and families in the communities where RSM’s people live and work.

Through the Power of Love and a matching donation from the RSM US Foundation, RSM’s people, clients and friends raise funds to support the foundation’s mission to build tomorrow’s middle market leaders through programs and charitable donations that enhance educational outcomes and the quality of life for children and families. Each year the program supports more than 100 charities across the U.S., Canada, India and El Salvador.

“The RSM US Foundation was created in part to support our core value of stewardship,” said Doug Opheim, chair of the RSM US Foundation. “Our Power of Love program helps us live those values. I want to thank and congratulate this year’s Power of Love leaders, Joanne Evans and Krayton Koski, for all of their hard work and leadership, and all of our people, clients and communities who have helped us achieve our goals.”

RSM’s Birdies Fore Love – an on-course competition in conjunction with the PGA TOUR – was announced in 2018 to recognize and award weekly winners throughout the fall, as well as the top finisher in total birdies (or better) from all fall TOUR events. This on-course competition further supports those in need. As in years past, weekly winners and the overall winner from this year’s RSM’s Birdies Fore Love program will get to make a contribution to a youth-focused charity of their choice.

“Each year our people, clients and friends of the firm make a positive difference through the Power of Love,” said Andy Bosman, chief marketing officer with RSM US LLP. “Together with the Davis Love Foundation and PGA TOUR players, we are humbled to be able to give back to organizations that support our foundation’s mission and values.”

“It’s an honor getting to work with RSM every year on The RSM Classic and related philanthropic activities,” said Davis Love III, PGA TOUR professional, Team RSM member and The RSM Classic Tournament Host. “The RSM US Foundation and our Foundation’s missions are closely aligned and focused on helping children and families. It’s incredible to see what we’re able to accomplish when we work together along with the support of our extended communities.”
