RS&H is one of the nation’s leading architecture, engineering and consulting firms, headquartered in Jacksonville.
In 2017, RS&H set up a corporate donor advised fund at The Community Foundation, which began managing all administrative aspects of the firm’s giving.
Additionally, RS&H was able to seek expert guidance on their philanthropic strategy, which was focused on supporting causes important to its employee-owners.
The Community Foundation helped the firm refine its approach to three core areas: education, people and the environment, and children and youth programs. Today, they have issued more than $900,000 in grants to more than 80 nonprofit organizations.
“As business leaders, we knew we needed to bring some order to our philanthropy, and magnify it, as well. Many of us had grown with RS&H throughout our careers and knew our company had always demonstrated a good, giving heart. But we also recognized it was time to think more proactively about where we would like to give our time, talent, and resources. The Community Foundation helped us develop and execute a comprehensive corporate giving strategy.”
