Our Services to...

Religious Organizations

ODMD has served the religious sector for many years and today counts over 200 churches, synagogues, religious communities, denominational entities and endowments among its not-for-profit clients. These entities range from small local churches and congregations to large parishes with significant endowments as well as religious orders and denominational boards and missions. Many are complex organizations with extensive programs serving their own congregation as well as the local community. Through their broader programs, both internal and separately incorporated, they provide services in the fields of health care, education, social services, and many others.

The firm’s involvement with the Religious sector provides ODMD partners and staff an opportunity to identify problem areas specific to those organizations and to develop solutions targeted to those issues and needs. ODMD professionals are familiar with the issues surrounding gifts and donor restrictions as well as the problems of property valuations and pooled investment fund accounting. They can also provide guidance in developing stronger internal controls and minimizing operational risk.
