We Believe in the Ripple Effect

An understanding that together we are greater than the sum of our parts and a knowing that small, positive actions can make an impact on those around us.

Our Community Engagement Program

We believe in the power of building community and giving back to the nonprofits that make life better for all of us. Whether we are volunteering, sponsoring an event, or sharing our time and talents, our Community Engagement Program unites our efforts so that together, we can make a tangible difference in Clark County.

The following Philanthropic Guideposts help guide our giving:

Programs for Positive Change

We believe in programming that is upstream in its approach and strategic in its design. Activities that aim to solve and prevent challenges before they start are in alignment with our companies’ approach and highlighting ways to leverage other sources of support is even better. We ask: how can our support be a catalyst for good?

Community Enhancement

Our community is our home, and we honor the beauty that surrounds us – be it the green landscape, the thriving downtown, or the art and music that bring us joy. We put our efforts to improving our local surroundings.

Empowerment through Leadership

We want to invest in developing local leaders – especially our youth – because in doing so, we give voice to those who need it most and help build a more robust, diverse think tank to help solve our community’s greatest challenges.

Education & Skills for Financial Wellness

At the heart of Johnson Bixby and Integrated Tax Services is a commitment to help clients make the most informed choices possible for their financial success. We work to extend our commitment to education to our local community members.

Here are some of the organizations who have benefitted from our Community Engagement efforts in 2022 and 2023:

Cascadia Tech Academy Foundation

Columbia Springs

Council for the Homeless

Fosterful

Friends of the Children, SW Washington

Relay for Life

Watershed Alliance

Vancouver Wine & Jazz Festival

If your organization has an event or cause you wish us to support, please review our philanthropic guideposts and then write us an email sharing more. We look forward to hearing from you!

It’s Possible

When we participate in and support our communities, it’s possible for us to leave them better than we found them. And when we work together, it’s possible to create something better than any one of us could do alone.

Directed by our guideposts, our giving falls into three main categories: Nonprofit Support & Sponsorship, Financial Empowerment, and CommUNITY Hours.

Nonprofit Support & Sponsorship

Each year, we dedicate a portion of our budget toward sponsoring and supporting local nonprofits that fit within our Guideposts. Our Community Engagement Committee, comprised of team members, reviews all requests monthly.

Financial Empowerment

Workshops: Our Financial Planners, CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and other team members dedicate time and talent to teaching financial education across our community. We’ve worked with high school students, young adults leaping into new careers, and older adults re-entering the workforce.

Are you interested in having one of our team members teach at your organization or school? Email our Director of Community Investments & Relationships, Megan Dixon.

CommUNITY Hours

Each year, our team members receive CommUNITY hours to invest back into the community in areas that are important to them. Often, team members participate in group-supported volunteer activities where their combined time and talent make a big impact.
