We are pleased to announce that Strategic Partner EY will donate $50,000 to POIC + RAHS in honor of Nike’s 50th Anniversary. Our 50+ year commitment to underserved communities is one of the many reasons EY first supported POIC. This generous gift is just one of many meaningful contributions to our community: from major event sponsorships to donations of office furniture, to charitable investments like this recent funding, the partnership has allowed our organization to grow alongside EY’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of underserved communities.
“We are excited that in honor of Nike’s 50th Anniversary, POIC + RAHS is the recipient of this local donation. EY has been a strategic partner to POIC + RAHS for years and this donation is a pinnacle in how Strategic Partners can come together and make a significant difference in the success of at-risk youth and adults.”
POIC’s Strategic Partnerships are grounded in the mutual desires to provide equitable services to our communities and clients, shared core values, and a commitment to growth that strengthens the partnership. We are thankful that this partnership has brought board membership, organization relationships, and a connection that makes a significant difference to the success of at-risk youth and adults.
EY began its partnership with POIC in 2015 to honor its values rooted in inclusiveness and leadership. Since then, connections have grown to include Board membership, major event sponsorship, and volunteerism on EY Connect Days, among other engagements. In 2020, EY was named a member of POIC’s initial roster of Strategic Partnerships, which are ongoing for a minimum of three years. Nike was also listed among the first seven Strategic Partners for POIC.
