Applications for 2014 Bricker Anniversary Gift sought from nonprofit organizations

Columbus, Ohio - Bricker & Eckler LLP announced today that applications are being sought from nonprofit organizations throughout Ohio for the firm's 2014 Anniversary Gift. The deadline to submit an application is August 5, 2014.

The process and focus has changed for this year’s gift. For the 2014 gift, qualified 501(c)(3) organizations should submit proposals that focus on hunger and wellness initiatives in our communities.

“This issue has been a theme and interest of our attorneys and staff for quite some time because it impacts many of the same issues our clients care about,” said Kurt Tunnell, managing partner for the firm. “Having a healthy population, success in the classroom, worker productivity, and the ability of our communities to compete for jobs and development are key issues all related to hunger and wellness.”

Tunnell continued, “The firm is already taking a leadership role in addressing this issue, and we would like to work with an organization or organizations that share our passion for ensuring that Ohioans are healthy and positioned for success.”

The Bricker Anniversary Gift, which celebrates the anniversary of the firm's founding, is a single donation of up to $25,000 awarded annually to one or more charitable organizations. Any Ohio 501(c)3 verified charitable organization may apply.
