At Rose Street Advisors, we have been IN the community and have personally and corporately counted it a privilege to give back TO the community for decades. From sponsoring events, supporting local causes or just participating with the many dynamic nonprofits and government agencies in the greater Kalamazoo area, our firm is always looking for a way to help make a difference.
In addition to corporate giving and support, our employees wanted to start our own initiative, directly from us as employees of Rose Street Advisors. In 2018, our employees started SWEET (Social, Wellness, Employee Engagement Team) and the #RSAGive program, which focuses on the employee-driven volunteering and/or financial support of a local organization each month. Since its initiation, employees have provided thousands of dollars worth of meals, diapers, school supplies, and many volunteer hours of support to local agencies that are impacting our community every day.
Denzel Washington was quoted saying, “At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished… it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.”
As Advisors, our passion to serve doesn’t stop at serving and lifting up our clients. We strive to help lift up our community. When putting words to what we believe our purpose is to be in the community, we chose “Generous. Committed. Focused. Connected.” May Rose Street Advisors always strive to be a community partner and a firm that is committed to being generous and focused with our support, connected to the right people and right causes that help our community, and its people, thrive. We believe that when our community prospers, we all win!
