New York, December 17, 2020, | Portfolio BI, a leading provider of front-to-back solutions for order management, portfolio management, data management, and reporting for the buy-side, today announced that it made a shift in its annual holiday gifting program. Instead of traditional holiday gifts, it is making charitable contributions on behalf of its clients.
According to the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ (AFP) Coronavirus Response Survey, more than half of charitable organizations in the United States expect to raise less money in 2020 than they did in 2019.
“We have always been a community-focused organization but felt that the opportunity during the holidays to give back in the current climate was more important than ever,” said Jeremey, CEO of Portfolio BI. “Portfolio BI is always grateful for the support and trust of our clients, partners, and friends have in us. To show our thanks and in the spirit of the holiday season, Portfolio BI has begun what we expect to be an annual tradition of contributing to several charitable organizations. This season Portfolio BI has donated to Feeding America, RBaby Foundation, and The Robin Hood Foundation.”
As the critical year-end giving season approaches, Portfolio BI invites you to consider making donations to the same or similar organizations.
