In early December 2014, the QED Group, LLC  provided a grant of $9,000 to Hearts and Homes for Youth through the QED Foundation as part of their long-term commitment to community engagement. Hearts & Homes is one of three non-profits in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area that QED identified as a long-term partner in its charitable giving approach that is focused on support locally.

QED President and CEO Jeffrey Singer said, “we share many of the same values and approaches as Hearts & Homes for Youth, such as poverty alleviation and improved health services. Through our partnership with Hearts & Homes, QED is able to strengthen our ties and increase our impact with the local community.”

Hearts & Homes is greatly appreciative of the committed support from QED. Since 2008, the company has provided Hearts & Homes with generous donations on an annual basis. In addition, over the past few years, QED has donated a number of computers, laptops, and printers for Hearts & Homes youth, which they have used to print resumes, do homework, familiarize themselves with technology, and develop technical skills. QED employees have also volunteered their time and turned out at some of Hearts & Homes’ events to support the youth.

“We are so fortunate to have the support of this well-respected, international consulting firm that shares our community values,” said Caitlin Buckley, Hearts & Homes’ Director of Community Relations. “We look forward to continuing and enriching this partnership with the QED Group, LLC.”
