RSM US Foundation Supports Disaster Planning and Preparedness with $100,000 Donation to American Red Cross

CHICAGO – (November 12, 2024) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services for the middle market – along with the RSM US Foundation – is pleased to support the firm’s people and the communities where they live and work (and beyond) with a $100,000 grant to the American Red Cross’s domestic and international disaster planning and preparedness efforts.

Additional grants proportionate to RSM’s employee populations will be made to the Canadian Red Cross, Salvadoran Red Cross Society and the India Red Cross Society, which are all part of the international Red Cross and Red Crescent network, the largest humanitarian network in the world with a presence and activities in almost every country.

“Supporting the Red Cross demonstrates our care and concern for our communities across the U.S., Canada, India, El Salvador and beyond,” said Doug Opheim, chair of the RSM US Foundation’s board of directors.  “And these most recent donations supporting disaster planning and preparedness will help ‘turn compassion into action’  as we help ensure the Red Cross is prepared to provide care, shelter and hope to those that need it most.”

“The Red Cross is now responding to nearly twice as many large-scale disasters as we did 10 years ago,” said Josett Valdez, fundraising vice president for the North Central Division of The American Red Cross. “Thanks to the heartfelt generosity of donors like RSM and the RSM US Foundation, we can offer comfort and care to those facing some of the most challenging moments of their lives. We are profoundly grateful for these contributions made in advance of disasters, as they allow us to respond swiftly, bringing compassion, relief and hope when people need it most.”
