The business of helping our communities One of the ways the member firms of Crowe Horwath International live our core values is by serving and supporting our communities. We do this by providing thought leadership, volunteerism, and monetary contributions to important not-for-profit organizations.

Below are some illustrative examples of our community involvement in action: The Crowe Horwath Foundation (Crowe Horwath LLP, US) The Crowe Horwath Foundation does not accept grant requests from not-for-profit organizations.

Requests are accepted only from Crowe Horwath LLP personnel on behalf of the not-for-profit organizations they support. This approach enables charitable giving to follow our people’s passions.

Women for Women (Crowe Soberman, Canada) Women for Women is comprised of the female professionals at Crowe Soberman and was founded in 1995 as a vehicle for providing business information, networking opportunities, and financial services for women. In 2015, this initiative celebrated its 20th anniversary.
