At Brookside Tax & Financial Group, we believe true success is measured not only by the financial goals we help our clients achieve, but also by the impact we make together in our community. That’s why we established the Brookside Gives Back Fund to partner with local foundations that share our values of generosity, support, and lasting change. Below, you’ll find more about two organizations close to our hearts and how, together, we can continue making a difference in our community.
Brookside is committed to providing tuition assistance for families in need seeking a Catholic education, and provides aid for families needing food and shelter assistance.
Gradient Gives Back Foundation
Established in 2009, the Gradient Gives Back Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides housing assistance and a hand-up to families experiencing unexpected hardships through no fault of their own.
Brookside partners with the Foundation to bring this support to the Greater Parma community, with a goal of selecting a local family each year to receive up to 12 months of housing. Together, we stand with our neighbors to build stability and brighter futures.
If you know a family in the local community facing hardship, we invite you to apply, nominate, or donate to help continue this important work.
The Catholic Community Foundation
*Please indicate “for the benefit of the Brookside Gives Back Fund” in the check memo or in a note included with your gift.
The Catholic Community Foundation, founded in 2000, is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting faithful giving to support the ministries of the Diocese of Cleveland, including Catholic Charities, Education, and Worship. At the heart of its mission is Catholic education, where schools provide a nurturing environment rooted in the Gospel and focused on both academic and personal success.
The Diocese of Cleveland is home to the fifth largest Catholic school system in the United States and the largest in Ohio. Each year, more than 3,100 students receive need-based tuition assistance thanks to the generosity of donors who believe in the lifelong value of a Catholic education.
Brookside is committed to providing tuition assistance for families in need seeking a Catholic education, with dedicated support for students in Catholic elementary schools within the Independence, Parma, and Berea school districts.
