AT RAFFA, P.C. giving back is part of the job.

Philanthropy is a big part of who we are as a company, and it is of great importance to us. As a firm committed to the Do Well – Do Good” model for success, Raffa attracts highly talented individuals who want to make a difference in the community. At Raffa, we deliver the opportunity to do so through a variety of channels.

RAFFA employees volunteer in their children's schools and in their neighborhood associations. They provide pro-bono services, volunteer on boards, read to children who need extra help, walk for causes and cures, and build stronger communities. We encourage them to get involved through Raffa's Charity Clubs, and they do it because they care. Last year alone, Raffa employees logged more that 8200 volunteer hours, and much of it was done on company time. Raffa has been recognized by the Washington Business Journal at as the Top Small Business in terms of number of volunteer community service hours for the last four years.   

If you visit the firm on a Friday you'll see everyone wearing jeans. That's because RAFFA hosts a monthly Denim Day to promote employee charitable contributions that support one of Raffa's smaller community nonprofit clients. Each month,  employees raise money for a randomly selected charity, and the firm's principal, Tom Raffa, matches the total contribution raised.  RAFFA has also been a sponsor of a broad range of community projects, events, and initiatives, and has contributed a significiant number of probono professional service hours and Board service hours to nonprofit sector.

Last year, at least 50 Raffa employees served on at least one Board, and the firm  provided almost $1 million in probono professional service hours and logged more than 1000 Board service hours, helping a variety of nonprofit organizations grow wiser and stronger.    . 

By creating information portals such as www.IKNOW.org and aiding in the development of the National Capital Region's Boardnet USA,  the Firm has helped thousands of nonprofits access the support , resources, and services they need to more effectively attain their own missions. 

Our aim is to grow as a company together with our stakeholders, our customers, our business partners ,and our employees in a way that benefits and strengthens our community.
