Armanino takes its community leadership role seriously. Our ‘Great Give’ program celebrates volunteerism as we close our offices for a day to give back to the communities we serve. Beyond that, our firm-wide charitable programs support worthy causes throughout the year.
Employees are given the day off so they can roll up their sleeves and volunteer at nonprofit organizations throughout the Bay Area. Projects range and have included such work as decorating a children's infirmary, building a play structure, sorting food in a warehouse, teaching at an elementary school, feeding the homeless, restoring a garden, playing games with seniors, and caring for animals. Employees were able to sign up for projects of their choice depending on their interests and location.
The firm has also been active in launching a program called "AM Gives Back." This program was designed to raise money for organizations chosen by our staff and provide volunteer hours in the community. After 15 weeks, Armanino donated more than $115,000 to 45 San Francisco Bay Area charities including nonprofits, educational institutions, public service agencies and other community-based organizations. Armanino also volunteered more than 1,000 hours of time to nonprofit organizations. To raise money, the teams held creative events such as "Armanino Idol" and a Bowl-A-Thon, as well as more conventional fund raising events such as wine tastings, car washes, picnics, casino nights and the like.
Our partners are also active in the community. They serve on boards, fundraise and hold many financial treasurer positions. One of the firm's partners started his own foundation called the Bay Area Leadership Foundation which is an organization dedicated to giving low income students a chance for college. Throughout the year, members of the firm organize opportunities to participate in a wide number of programs such as Adopt a Family, Daffodil Days, and various walks to raise money for cancer. The firm is a certified green business and has a Green Committee dedicated to cutting down on waste and improving sustainability both in the office and at home.
