Community Involvement
Annual Scholarship - In an effort to help promising students pursue public accounting as a profession, we award the Goodman & Company, LLP, Annual Scholarship of $2,500 each year to a college junior or senior accounting major. The student must be currently enrolled in an accredited Virginia college or university and must demonstrate academic excellence and financial need. The VSCPA Educational Foundation administers the scholarship, with funding from Goodman & Company.
Goodman Accounting Challenge - The Goodman Accounting Challenge is an interactive and educational competition in which teams of four students research and present written solutions to a test that simulates real-life accounting situations. In 2007, 24 teams participated, with the first place winner receiving $2,500 for their school accounting department, and $1,500 per team member.
Fantastic 50 - Goodman & Company has partnered with the Virginia Chamber of Commerce to support growing businesses in Virginia as a signature sponsor of Virginia's Fantastic 50, an award program that recognizes the 50 fastest-growing companies in Virginia for their contribution to the Commonwealth through increased employment and capital investment.
As a signature sponsor for the event, Goodman & Company verifies the accuracy of all the financial information that the many companies submit and produces a final ranking.
Open to all types of businesses, the Fantastic 50 is the only program that recognizes growing companies on a statewide basis.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“Every community is an association of some kind and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among those who support equality, men’s involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved towards a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema.”
—Katherine Gerson (20th century)
