“I have just received the generous grant from the Benevolent Fund and would like to express my gratitude for your generosity. This past year has been a trying time for my family and me as we wait on federal assistance. I never expected my membership in the AICPA to provide such a benefit beyond the business needs. The AICPA has proven again to be an invaluable asset.”
