25 Impactful Ways to Pay It Forward with $25
Inspired by the movie about a boy who does good deeds and asks recipients to do good for others in return, CohnReznick created its Pay It Forward initiative. Every year, the Firm gives employees $25 extra in their paychecks and asks that they use the money to make a difference in their communities. Risa Lavine, CohnReznick Chief of Staff, calls it an “act of kindness initiative that shows all levels of giving can make a meaningful impact.”
Pay It Forward coincides with CohnReznick Day (October 10), a day the Firm sets aside to recognize its people, clients, and communities. It’s our way of celebrating our Firm by giving back to others.
Corporate-level support through the CohnReznick Foundation
At the national level, CohnReznick hosts golf tournaments, bowl-a-thons, and other fundraising events through the CohnReznick Foundation. Established in 2000, the CohnReznick Foundation primarily supports children and youth-related charities as well as other organizations that have special meaning to our local offices. Major beneficiaries include:
Giving college scholarships, financial aid and educational counseling to the children of Special Operations personnel killed in the line of duty, and immediate financial assistance to those severely wounded.
Granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. CohnReznick is the foundation’s leading corporate donor in New Jersey.
Providing skills to thousands of middle- and high-school students in abusive family environments, enabling them to recognize abuse, overcome fear and get help.
