Non-profit organizations face increasing and constantly changing government regulations, and declining corporate and individual contributions. Non-profits must also report financial statements to different users as well as accurately account for the use of funds from both private contributions and grants. Gainer, Donnelly & Desroches has vast experience helping non-profit organizations to succeed in this environment.
GD&D clients include local and national organizations with annual revenues ranging from less than $1 million to more than $30 million of dollars including:
- healthcare organizations
- social welfare agencies
- art organizations
- religious and educational institutions
Our objective is to help clients improve service efficiency and cost effectiveness. Our tax consultants are experienced with exempt status, excise taxes on investment income, estate taxes, payroll taxes and unrelated taxation.
GD&D's commitment to non-profit organizations is further demonstrated through its Employee-Directed Charitable Giving Program which donates one percent (estimated at over $100,000) of its annual revenues to the Houston nonprofit community. Partners and staff also serve on the board of directors of various community organizations, volunteer in a myriad of ways, and donate a significant amount of time to pro bono work for non-profit organizations.
