From our CLA Foundation to our commitment to community engagement, our purpose is to impact our communities through education, employment, and entrepreneurship. Engaging with our communities has always been a fundamental part of our CLA culture. We believe investing goes beyond making a monetary donation — it’s about creating a measurable impact in our communities by intentionally engaging with nonprofit organizations, chambers of commerce, associations, and additional connections to contribute our time, talent, and treasures While all engagement is important, CLA’s community impact work focuses on education, employment, and entrepreneurship — what we call our “Three Es” — as they are foundational to the success of us as individuals and to our society as a whole. Since its inception in 2015, the CLA Foundation has granted more than $8 million to advance career opportunities in communities across the nation. The CLA Foundation is a private 501(c)(3) organization funded solely by donations from CLA family members, and does not accept grant proposals from outside organizations — all grant nominations originate from CLA family members. CLA is committed to transformational change that can improve sustainability and create an environment for CLA family members to grow their inspired careers. CLA’s strong stakeholder and board governance sets high standards for transparency in ethics, risk management, and cybersecurity. Additionally, our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion can be experienced in our world class culture and focus on wellness. CLA is building a culture that welcomes different beliefs and perspectives — so we can truly know and help our clients, our communities, and each other. We’ve made progress since our 2021 transparency report, and our desire is to be representative of the communities we serve by providing a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone has equitable opportunity
