Accounting Associate
Two Ten Foundation is a 73 year old nonprofit grant making and support organization serving members of the footwear industry nation wide. Based in Waltham, Massachusetts, Two Ten provides direct assistance, counseling services and awards millions of dollars in scholarships each year to thousands of footwear industry employees, and their immediate families. We are currently seeking a full time Accounting Associate.
In the 1930's Boston was the center of America's shoe manufacturing industry. With the
Great Depression, the industry and its people experienced severe job loss. At that time 210 Lincoln Street, thus the name Two Ten, housed more than 300 shoe companies. It was in those offices, on every Wednesday afternoon, a hat would be passed around and even in these most difficult times, staff would contribute what they could to help their fellow workers in need. This caught the attention of leaders in the shoe industry and in 1939 a gift of $500.00 launched the creation of the Two Ten Footwear Foundation. Two Ten has grown to be the only organization of its kind in the U.S. raising funds from footwear companies and industry leaders to assist individuals and their families who work in the same industry.
