Our Commitment to the Nonprofit Community

Our dedication to the Washington-area nonprofit community manifests itself in many ways. First of all, as auditors and accountants, we frequently offer fee discounts to our nonprofit clients. We understand the positive impact these groups have on the region, the country and the world at large, as well their forward-thinking efforts on behalf of the public good. We like to think we help these groups maximize the value of their funding by keeping our fees at a minimum…without sacrificing the quality of our services.

We also serve as advisors—our partners and staff serve as Board members, program and event sponsors, and volunteers to support local nonprofits. We are happy to commit our time and efforts to the worthwhile causes of nonprofits that work in such areas as humanitarian relief, sustainable development, conservation and environmental protection, and the preservation of threatened wildlife.

We sponsor the Center for Nonprofit Advancement’s annual Excellence in Chief Executive Leadership (EXCEL) Award, which recognizes exemplary leadership among Washington-area nonprofit executive officers.

We also sponsor the Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington's Future Exectuive Directors Fellowship Program, which is designed to nurture future leaders of Washington-area nonprofits.

Following are examples of how our people show their dedication, on an individual and organizational basis, to nonprofit programs.
