In addition to the firm’s contributions, the Vandeventer Black Foundation, which was established in 2005, allows the firm to support a broad array of nonprofit organizations working to enhance the quality of life for the people of Coastal Virginia. The Foundation’s long-term goal is to award grants to support various charitable purposes in local communities.

For their efforts, they have been recognized by VOLUNTEER Hampton Roads with “The Good Corporate Neighbor Award.”

To our company, community impact looks like leaving an imprint on our community by giving back in multiple ways to those who need it the most.
