About BKD

Our employees are the face of BKD. We encourage our people to put a face on BKD in our local communities by becoming actively involved in community organizations and events. Our BKD Foundation gifts provide opportunities for our people to give something back to the communities that have given so much to us.

You’ll find our personnel represented on civic and charitable boards; involved in churches, synagogues and other religious organizations; and sponsors of a wide variety of community-based special events. Our BKD Matching Gift Program also provides financial support to local colleges and universities from which we recruit accounting personnel.

Following is an example of one of our local outreach activities that helps us put a face on BKD in our communities. For an example of our community involvement in other BKD communities, go to our Locations section to the location of interest to you.

Merrillville Partner Makes Personal Investment in Community
– Central Indiana

Paul Bailey, a BKD partner in Merrillville, is an avid supporter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana. Not only has he served on the organization’s board for the past several years, he also makes personal financial contributions to help the organization achieve its mission. BKD believes in supporting its partners and employees when they take a personal stake in making a difference in their community. That’s why BKD supports the clubs through annual donations to its operating fund.

The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana is to inspire and empower all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring individuals.

All programs are based around five core program areas: Character and Leadership Development; Education and Career Development; Health and Life Skills; The Arts; and Sports, Fitness and Recreation. For more information on the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana, go to www.nwipositiveplace.org/.
