Healthcare, Clean Water, and Electric Vehicle Programs Among Recipients of Cadmus’ Employee-Directed Charitable Giving
WALTHAM, Mass., June 17, 2015-The Cadmus Group, Inc. (Cadmus) today announced the recipients of the firm’s Employee-Directed Charitable Giving for the fourth quarter of its 2015 fiscal year. Cadmus’ popular employee-directed charitable giving program gives employees the opportunity to be directly involved in deciding how and where the firm provides charitable support.
This quarter’s recipients are:
Africa Schoolhouse: This small nonprofit organization provides schooling, medical care, job training, and clean water to thousands of people in rural villages in Northern Tanzania. This organization’s mission aligns with Cadmus’ own goals to support health, clean water, and sustainable growth.
Animal Kind International (AKI): Analyst Ashley Fox requested this donation after seeing the impact of its programs first-hand in the course of her international development work.
Best Friends Animal Society: Mary Raynard donates her time and money to this no-kill animal rehabilitation center and sanctuary.

MIT Electric Vehicle Team: Analyst John Kongoletos contributes significant time to helping this group, which gives students the opportunity to teach others about electric vehicles and provides a hands-on testing ground for new ideas and research. Cadmus’ donation will support the purchase of a heavy-duty spring suspension system.
Oregon Pro Arte Chamber Orchestras (OPACO): Associate Dorianne Reinhardt Paul submitted this request to support the expansion of OPACO, a regional, nonprofit orchestral association for both adult and student musicians. Dorianne, a lifelong musician, is an OPACO participant.
