Raymond James’ COVID Relief Supports

A managing director and senior vice president overseeing investments in the Beverly Hills offices of Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Lisa Detanna work with clients and organizations to help them strategize wealth management, investments, estate planning, and philanthropic giving.

Raymond James & Associates was a leader in charitable contributions to support COVID-19 relief during the earliest days of the pandemic, which had cost the United States approximately 20 million jobs by the spring of 2020. The firm contributed more than $2.3 million to COVID-19 relief efforts, focusing on the national nonprofit food distribution organization Feeding America. Raymond James also emphasized helping local communities, specifically those in which it does business.

As chairman and chief executive officer Paul Reilly noted, Raymond James’ commitment to the cities and towns where its team members live and work is “unwavering.” This is particularly true during the pandemic, in which many people, through no fault of their own, have found it impossible to meet even their most basic needs.

In its pandemic work with local communities, Raymond James has elected to focus on healthcare organizations' contributions and those providing essential services. These include Grady Health Foundation and Atlanta’s largest safety-net healthcare facility, Grady Memorial Hospital; St. Anthony’s Hospital Foundation; the St. Petersburg Free Clinic in Florida; and some two dozen other providers.
