Weeks of Service
BDO’s Weeks of Service provide time for our offices across the country to simultaneously volunteer in support of locally selected community efforts. The weeks are coordinated on a recurring basis, allowing designated times for anyone and everyone at the firm to participate in service events alongside their colleagues.
Each office chooses an initiative and fields teams of volunteers to address a variety of opportunities, from supporting efforts aimed at driving out food insecurity to gathering school supplies for kids in need to raising money to fund medical research to assisting with habitat restoration projects.
Good Deeds
When celebrating our 100th anniversary in 2010, we initiated an effort to give back to our communities by doing at least 100 “good deeds” over the course of that milestone year.
The program was a success, and it has continued since. It fuels and supports proactive efforts among our people — from small teams to large groups — to give back to their communities, and it has become a significant part of our social impact efforts. Since its inception, we’ve contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours as BDO Good Deeds.
Our People in Action
Community Leadership
Many of our professionals serve their communities as board members of charitable, civic and cultural organizations. In addition to their work in fundraising, our people often help these nonprofits thrive by lending their professional experience to optimize the financial and operational health of the organization. Their efforts help to ensure the organization’s continued success and contribution to the community.
Celebrating Success
Our professionals have a passion for serving others — it’s one reason why they are successful at what they do. Through BDO’s annual awards program, we recognize those that go above and beyond in their support of community initiatives by making a financial contribution to a nonprofit organization of their choice.
