Application Method
The RSM US Foundation operates multiple grant programs with different application processes:
Student Scholarships: Fixed deadline application (December 1 - February 28 annually) through Blackbaud's GrantsConnect platform
Dollars for Doers: Employee-driven program where RSM employees volunteer with qualifying youth-focused charities, earning grants based on volunteer hours (up to $2,400 individual, unlimited for groups)
Power of Love: RSM offices select local youth-focused charities to support (70+ offices participate annually)
Community Impact Fund: Application-based program launched in 2022 providing one-time grants to local charities through employee nominations
University Impact Fund: Provides grants to colleges and universities (application process not publicly detailed)
Most organizational grants are employee-driven or office-selected rather than through a traditional open application process.
