Eide Bailly, a national certified public accounting and business advisory firm, is pleased to announce that Helping Paws of Minnesota, Inc. has been selected as the recipient of the 2024 Resourcefullness Award.

“The gift from Eide Bailly was remarkable and unexpected,” said Alyssa Golob, Executive Director of Helping Paws. “When a small organization like Helping Paws receives such a transformative gift, we are able to move items from the ‘someday’ list to the ‘today’ list. In our world, this speeds up the time it takes to provide someone with a life-changing service dog.”

Eide Bailly's annual Resourcefullness Award recognizes exceptional nonprofit organizations that demonstrate ingenuity and sustainability in generating revenue. This nationwide award presents an opportunity for one 501(c)(3) organization to secure a generous $50,000 prize.

"We are proud to continue showing our commitment to the nonprofit community through the Eide Bailly Resourcefullness Award,” expressed Deb Nelson, Partner and Industry Leader of Eide Bailly’s nonprofit group. “The innovative and creative ideas that are shared each year continue to inspire us.”
