Stewardship in Action

RSM US Foundation

In 2014, our firm established the RSM US Foundation as part of our giving strategy and to support our firm's core value of stewardship. A tax-exempt public charity, our foundation is dedicated to building tomorrow's middle market leaders by:

Enhancing educational outcomes through programs for individuals to have a career path to become an entrepreneur or middle market business leader
Supporting organizations committed to providing a more stable environment for youth in the areas of hunger, housing or health, which in turn will help them succeed in education

Stewardship is at the core of every decision the RSM US Foundation Board makes. It is gratifying to observe the growing impact of the foundation’s giving programs, which totals US$21,355,067 to date.

: RSM employees love to share their time by helping others. Through Dollars for Doers, the RSM US Foundation enhances employee volunteers’ gifts of time in a way that is aligned with our firm’s values.

Dollars for Doers grants support volunteer work done for charities aligned with the RSM US Foundation’s mission, which is to build tomorrow’s middle market leaders through education and by creating stable environments for youth in the areas of hunger, housing and health. The program provides grants to match the direct service time of employees at qualifying organizations and for charity activities at RSM conferences and our firm’s Volunteer Day.

Since 2016, the program’s first full year, the foundation has provided matching funds for nearly 400 individual and group grant requests, totaling US$225,800.

RSM and the RSM US Foundation are committed to supporting our people and their communities when affected by a federally declared national disaster through our RSM US Foundation Disaster Relief Fund. The Disaster Relief Fund provides financial support directly to employees who:

Have immediate emergency financial need due to evacuation or displacement
Have short- and long-term financial need for recovery due to damage of the employee's primary homestead from a qualified disaster

In 2021, over $22,000 has been gifted to employees who have been affected by various disasters such as Hurricane Ida and Tropical Storm Isaias.

: At RSM, we believe in the value of every person. Our culture embodies inclusiveness and understanding, empowering our people to be their authentic selves and share their unique perspectives.

In partnership with our culture, diversity and inclusion (CDI) team, the foundation established the CDI Impact Fund in 2019. The fund was created to attract and support underrepresented populations who want to pursue careers in public accounting, technology or business, and to support organizations committed to providing stable foundations for youth to help them excel in education.

Support our communities through national charities

RSM’s commitment to inclusion flows well beyond the boundaries of our firm and our work. We have partnered with dedicated organizations, both local and national, to give back to and create positive change in the communities where we live and work. This has become core to the picture of our firm with RSM US Foundation partnerships that provide support for education, housing, hunger and health which allow us to invest in the middle market leaders of tomorrow.

North American food banks

RSM recognizes that food insecurity is a significant challenge for many people and it can have material impact on the social, emotional and intellectual development of children. RSM aims to help youth achieve important educational outcomes so they can become the middle market leaders of tomorrow. That is why, since 2015, RSM has worked with North American food banks to feed tens of thousands of students.

As a commitment to its people, RSM established a meal stipend program for employees during the early months of the pandemic in March and April 2020. The unused funds from the program—US$1.8 million—were donated to community food banks in Canada and the United States.

Support our future leaders

Through scholarship programs, RSM's stewardship value calls for us to give back to our profession and support the next generation of business and technology professionals.
