The RSM US Foundation supports community initiatives that advance education, youth development, and economic opportunity, and partners with RSM employees to give back through scholarships, camps and volunteer programs.
A defining feature of Rsm US Foundation’s giving is the way it combines youth education with direct support for organizations working on health, housing, hunger, and disaster response. The foundation’s recent grants include large commitments to The Draysontate Children’s Cancer Research Fund for youth health, Junior Achievement USA for Stock Market Challenge support, and Boys & Girls Clubs of America for youth education and workforce readiness. Those awards sit alongside scholarship programs and community grants that connect students to college, career pathways, and basic support services. The foundation also funds through employee engagement, with several grants tied to Dollars for Doers and volunteer-based support. Recent gifts to United Way of Central Iowa, United Way of Central Alabama, and Achieve Twin Cities show repeated support for community organizations that serve children and adolescents across multiple needs. The grant record also includes support for youth-serving nonprofits such as Olive Crest, Active Minds, and Feeding America, indicating a broad approach to helping young people through education, health, and essential services. Across the file, the foundation’s work is national in scope and centered on youth-focused community impact.
Education is a core theme. The foundation gave $747,000 to Junior Achievement USA for Stock Market Challenge support, and $130,000 and $100,000 to Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation for RSM Shot at College support. Workforce readiness appears in grants tied to youth career exposure and school-to-work pathways. Boys & Girls Clubs of America received $253,000 for workforce readiness program support, while the foundation also backed the Zach Johnson Foundation’s RSM Shot at College program through Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. Health and basic needs show up in several grants. Active Minds Inc. received $100,000 for youth health support and another $100,000 for program support, and Feeding America received $107,337 for youth health and hunger through Dollars for Doers. The foundation also supported housing and hunger work through United Way of Central Iowa and United Way of Central Alabama. Scholarships are another clear area, including $120,000 to Courageous Sailing Center for Youth Inc. for university scholarships.
