At Meyers Brothers Kalicka, we share what we have with our community in different ways every month. From gathering needed supplies for Dakin Humane Society and TJ O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center in May, to volunteering time to help frame a house with Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity in October, we reach out to organizations that are making an impact in the communities in which we live and work. With nearly a dozen of our staff immersed in the intricacies of not-for-profit program funding, reporting requirements, and regulations, we give back to our community with our expertise, as well. We are dedicated to helping local nonprofits grow their impact and pursue their mission by providing our technical expertise in not-for-profit finance, allowing their board of directors, staff, and volunteers to focus on their mission and intended recipients. 

This Giving Tuesday, we’d like to encourage everyone in our community to reach out a helping hand to a not-for-profit organization whose mission means something to you in whatever way you can. Please keep in mind that while giving whatever you can always makes an impact, how you give can make a big difference for those nonprofits. If you are planning a monetary gift, consider giving an unrestricted gift rather than gifting to a specific program, allowing not-for-profit organizations the flexibility to meet shifting challenges facing their mission. Keeping monetary gifts local is another great way to ensure an impact directly on your community, whether that means giving to a small nonprofit, or giving directly to the local chapter of your favorite national charity. Whatever your choice, consider reaching out today to see how you may be able to help a not-for-profit organization doing work that is special to you.
