Quality education

RSM Canada holds an annual charitable giving campaign, known as the Power of Love season, where offices throughout the country volunteer and raise funds for select local charitable organisations, and in 2022 more than $300,000 was raised. RSM’s 2022 fundraising goal was achieved through several employee events, along with external donor contributions. Here are some of the charitable organisations that will benefit from RSM’s 2022 fundraising campaign:

They believe that by enabling better education outcomes, BB4CK gives students a hand up, not just a handout.
