Not every accountant can say they honestly love their job, but in our case it's true! We’re proud of the nonprofit organizations we serve, and feel lucky to end every day knowing that we've helped an organization create good in the world.
Year-end fundraising is already in full swing for many of our nonprofit clients, and they have a lot on their plate! Here’s what they’ve been up to this month:

Darren Pratt at the University Press of Colorado wrote a recent piece on the UPC blog about why a university press is a good investment.

Michigan
CraneFest, one of Michigan Audubon Society’s premier annual events, is in the books for another year! The Sandhill Crane and Art Festival took place on October 8th & 9th at the Kiwanis Youth Conservation Area in Bellevue, MI, and by all accounts was a huge success. If you missed the event, you still have the opportunity to attend weekend viewings of the sandhill crane in Bellevue each Saturday and Sunday evening (4:00 pm - dusk) through November 13th.
Did you miss the Food Gatherers Mow Down Hunger match campaign? Good news! You still have a chance to double your contribution with the Bank of America’s Feeding America campaign, now through December 31. Enter a Washtenaw County zip code and specify “Your Local Food Bank” to send your donation to Ann Arbor’s Food Gatherers. For every $1 you donate, Bank of America will match your donation with $2 more!
Washington, DC
