Giving back goes full throttle during Raymond James Cares Month

Together, we made a difference during our official month of giving.

2018 Results

2018 was the most impactful year yet for Raymond James Cares Month, and it’s thanks to our firm leaders, advisors and associates leading the way to give back to our communities.

During our official month of giving, we saw more than 2,500 professionals host over 200 volunteer projects across 112 local communities, 30 U.S. states and the United Kingdom, contributing more than 7,250 hours to benefit 172 nonprofit organizations.

Since our official month of giving began in 2012, our associates, advisors and their clients have volunteered more than 36,800 hours.
