Cohen & Co Celebrates Community Engagement with Charitable Donations
In a heartfelt gesture to commemorate a significant milestone, Cohen & Co has recently announced a donation of $10,000 to both the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh. This charitable contribution, facilitated through the Cohen & Co Community Foundation, reflects the company’s commitment to nurturing the communities it serves, effectively marking the firm's 10-year anniversaries at its Detroit and Pittsburgh locations.
Cohen & Co, a reputable name in the tax and accounting sector, has always emphasized the importance of community involvement. During the recent announcement, CEO Chris Bellamy stated, "Our people have always played an important role in how we engage with the communities in which we work, so we wanted employees to have a voice in how we celebrate 10 years in Detroit and Pittsburgh." This statement underlines the company’s dedication not just to its business growth but also to social responsibility.
Supporting Local Organizations
Both recipient organizations highlight the firm’s commitment to community welfare. The
Detroit Riverfront Conservancy is established as a guardian of the downtown Riverfront, overseeing the maintenance and enhancement of public parks and greenways that contribute to the city's environmental and recreational health. On the other hand, the
Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh focuses on improving the lives of animals and their owners through various programs, including two low-cost veterinary clinics and a wildlife rehabilitation center.
David Rubin, the executive director of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, expressed gratitude for the donation, stating it will enable further protection and enhancement of the Riverfront, which has become a vibrant space for residents and visitors alike. Meanwhile, the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh echoed similar sentiments, highlighting how contributions like this bolster their ability to provide essential services to the community.
Extending Reach in Southeast Michigan and Pittsburgh
Cohen & Co's involvement is not limited to these two organizations. In Michigan, the firm actively supports various other initiatives, including Keep Growing Detroit, Forgotten Harvest, and the Ferndale Cat Shelter, among others. Since establishing a presence in Southeast Michigan in 2016, Cohen & Co has expanded through strategic acquisitions, enhancing its workforce to nearly 80 employees in the region. Their commitment extends beyond simple financial contributions; employees often volunteer their time and resources to these causes, fostering a spirit of collaboration and service.
In
Pittsburgh, a similarly dedicated team of around 40 employees regularly engages with the community. They have been known to volunteer for not only the Humane Animal Rescue but also the American Cancer Society and the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. This proactive approach ensures that Cohen & Co’s footprint in Pittsburgh is characterized by mutual support and aiding local causes, reinforcing the company's role as a community leader.
