Herbein + Company, Inc. (Herbein), a leading CPA advisory firm, announced Tuesday the recipients of its Herbein 50 for 50 Project grants. The donations were designed to be a “golden opportunity” to celebrate Herbein’s 50th anniversary as a firm, by contributing $50,000 to 5 community organizations.
While for the past five decades, Herbein has invested in its communities, the Herbein 50 for 50 Project was a significant element of the firm’s milestone year. Herbein was humbled and inspired by the work every applicant organization does to make our communities stronger, better, and more inclusive – and received an overwhelming response, with more than 90 submissions across the firm’s geographic footprint.
Herbein team members voted for their individual Top 5 choices. While every applicant organization positively impacts countless people within our communities, Herbein team members are passionate about specific causes.
After each team member reviewed the submissions and voted, Herbein compiled all votes, and worked together to finalize the program’s grants. At the conclusion of firmwide team member voting, the firm knew limiting our awards to the Top 5 vote getters would not properly show appreciation for the accomplishments of these organizations. As a result, in addition to the Top 5 grants, Herbein added five additional $1,000 awards, and will make a smaller donation to every other applicant organization totaling over $75,000.
“In honor of our 50th anniversary, Herbein is thrilled to donate to so many deserving local organizations,” said Herbein Managing Partner David W. Stonesifer, CPA. “Each organization deserves to be recognized for all their incredible work. At Herbein, we are pleased to support them as they continue to leave a positive impact on the communities that our team members call home. And we’re even more pleased to share this program’s completion on Giving Tuesday, the annual day that encourages people to do good by participating in a global generosity movement. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.”
Two of our major Herbein 50 for 50 Project recipients commented:
“Thank you for this amazing news! We are so excited to have this opportunity – as helping community families has always been near and dear to my heart. This grant will help so many families and children in our community,” said Mary’s Shelter executive director Christine Folk. And Tom Carson, Victory House associate executive director, said, “Thank you so much for your support! What an amazing opportunity for all these organizations! We appreciate everything Herbein does for Victory House.”
