Letter to our community: COVID-19

In the coming weeks, the challenges we all face related to COVID-19 will demand strength, empathy and an unrelenting focus on connectivity and community in the face of physical distancing.

At Mesirow, our focus remains on the safety of our employees and their families, our clients, our business partners and the communities in which we operate. Our thoughts remain with all those around the world who have been affected by COVID-19.

We are especially grateful for the courage and dedication of healthcare workers and first responders. In the days and weeks ahead, it will be critical for us all to follow guidelines from the CDC and other government agencies.

The people of Mesirow continue to serve the financial needs and wellbeing of our clients and strategic partners. Our firm is financially strong, flexible and resilient – and our businesses are well-diversified. Like each of you, we are adapting day-by-day while remaining focused on our commitments to our clients and strategic partners. 

Reflecting the spirit of responsibility and engagement that defines our firm, we are also supporting the communities in which we, and our clients, live and work.

The firm has made financial donations to the Metropolitan Family Services Client Financial Assistance Fund and the Chicago Public Schools Foundation Compassion Fund. We are also matching employee donations to organizations in Chicago, as well as nationally and internationally, that address urgent COVID-19 related needs of individuals and families as well as small businesses.

Together, we will do our part to support one another. We wish you and your families good health and look forward to emerging from this period stronger as a city, a nation and a global community.
