Our Contributions to the Community
At Meicher CPAs we feel that contributing to the local community is essential because we as an organization are part of that community. We work with various local non-profits to do our part in building a better future for our community.
St. James School Resource Room
Gordy & Kris Meicher are proud to be the leading contributors to the recent renovation of the St. James School Resource Room. The Meichers started the project and everyone got on board to bring it to fruition. “I was able to donate some money and get a good return,” Gordy said, thanking school development director Mary Yockey for her work in raising the match.
With the help of the Meicher CPAs team, great tax planning can help you do more for the causes you love. Combining strategy and a passion for helping others can create giving opportunities that can stretch your charitable dollars, providing more for the causes you are passionate about!
The renovated St. James School Resource Room will continue to serve the school’s needs for many years to come.
Operation Fresh Start (“OFS”)
Meicher CPAs, along with managing partner Gordy Meicher, is proud to be a major donor to Operation Fresh Start (OFS). OFS is an organization which has provided comprehensive education, employment and training services to over 8,000 youth and adults in Dane County since 1970. A non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, OFS is best known for its core program, titled Pathways. Pathways helps young people (who have previously dropped out of high school), obtain their high school diploma and gain the skills to be successful in life.
OFS annually serves 200 disconnected youth by providing education to attain a high school credential, job training in construction or conservation work, and guided mentorship in the transition into post-secondary education or a living wage career.
On January 23rd OFS unveiled its new home at 2670 Milwaukee Street in Madison, WI, this former church will provide OFS with the space necessary to double the number of young people on the path to self-sufficiency.
“OFS’ work as an organization is absolutely necessary if we are to make progress in our community toward improving the well-being and future prospects of all our youth and particularly our youth of color,” said Erica Nelson, Project Director, Race to Equity and OFS Board Member.
Meicher CPAs partner Cindy Meicher is an Executive Board Member and Treasurer for the organization.
Boys and Girls Club of Dane County
Boys and Girls Club of Dane County unveiled the remodeling of its technology lab, made possible by a gift of more than $50,000 from Meicher CPAs, LLP. The renovation gives the technology lab a much-needed upgrade with new computers, workstations, printers, enhanced software capabilities, and new programming potential.
Gilda’s Run
Meicher CPAs has supported Gilda’s Run in Middleton for the past six years, which raises money for Gilda’s House, a local cancer support center which ensures that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge and strengthened by action.
REACH-A-Child
Recently David Meicher, a staff CPA at Meicher CPAs, received an award for raising the most money for the annual “Kiss the Goat” fundraiser sponsored by REACH-A-Child as part of Waunakee’s Wauktoberfest. He received the traveling trophy with his name engraved on it, which we can display in our office.
REACH-A-Child is a Madison-based non-profit currently partnering with First Responders in many communities across Wisconsin. REACH-A-Child partners with local First Responders (whether a police officer, a firefighter or an EMT) to supply each vehicle with a REACH BAG (A bag complete with 10 children’s books and 10 drawstring backpacks) which the First Responders keep in their vehicles to bring out when they encounter children-in-crisis.
