The Bonadio Group, a nationally ranked accounting firm, has announced the results of its second annual “The Big Give” fundraising campaign, including nearly $25,000 of donations, 1,250 staff volunteer hours, and support to over 50 non-profit organizations across the firm’s national footprint. The fundraising campaign, which ran from October 1 through December 31, 2023, encouraged employees to raise money for an organization of their choice by earning a $20 cash grant from the Bonadio Foundation for each volunteer hour they dedicated to supporting the cause.

The campaign also included a friendly competition among small teams. Funds earned by the top three teams were matched by The Bonadio Group in tiers based on the team’s ranking: triple the funds that the first-place team earned, double the funds earned by the second-place team, and a 150% match of the amount awarded to the third-place team. Benefitting organizations include FeedMore of WNY Foundation, Hospice of Central New York, Ugandan Water Project, St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy, and several more.

“Following a very successful inaugural campaign, bringing back and significantly expanding The Big Give for a second year is a testament to the dedication of The Bonadio Group to making positive impacts in the communities where we live and work,” said Bruce Zicari, CEO and managing partner of The Bonadio Group. “We look forward to growing this new initiative year over year to reach more organizations in need and empower our staff to continue seeking new ways to support causes they are passionate about.”
