More than 1,400 D.A. Davidson Companies associates across the country will have the opportunity to serve as volunteers throughout the month of September for the firm’s D.A. Davidson Day. At a company known for its focus on social responsibility and philanthropy, the company-wide event represents a key component in a robust group of initiatives that benefit nonprofit organizations.
“We look forward to continuing this tradition of assisting nonprofit organizations and empowering our associates to give of their time and talents,” Jim Kerr, D.A. Davidson Companies Chairman and CEO. “In a year that has been marked by additional hardships for many Americans, it’s more important than ever to be lending a helping hand and providing our help to local nonprofit organizations.”
The nonprofit groups that will benefit from D.A. Davidson Day were nominated and selected by local D.A. Davidson associates. They embody a wide range of missions, including organizations that provide homeless shelter, low-income housing, food, senior services, youth programs, animal shelter and more.
In 2019, more than 1,020 D.A. Davidson associates logged 3,204 volunteer hours for D.A. Davidson Day. They completed a variety of work, from gathering school supplies for low-income families to removing trash from beaches. Their work was coordinated through partnerships with 90 nonprofit organizations in 61 locations across the United States.
Because of the pandemic, the company is stretching this year’s D.A. Davidson “Day” to last throughout September. Most activities will be outdoors or can be completed from a distance or as an individual, such as sending cards to residents of nursing homes.
“Although this year will look different than most years, we believe it’s important to continue this tradition and create a strong impact, and connections, across the communities where we live and work,” Kerr said. “This is an event that our professionals look forward to with excitement every year.”
