community

community is at our core.

There’s more to Elliott Davis than the work we do. We care about our work, but we also care about our communities and the people in them. That’s why we’re proud to prioritize giving back.

our pillars of service

Community Relations at Elliott Davis connects the firm and its employees to the communities in our markets through three pillars of service: volunteering, philanthropy, and leadership roles with local nonprofits. Every initiative that flows from our community relations efforts is an extension of our firm’s mission, vision and core values. 

Volunteerism

Elliott Davis Cares is a company-wide volunteer initiative created to turn our firm’s drive to help people into collective action. Last fiscal year, Elliott Davis team members spent more than 4,700 hours volunteering.
