Commitment to Community
At Chess Consulting, we’re more than just a firm—we’re a force for good in our local community. Our unwavering belief in the transformative power of community engagement drives us to take action. Here are some examples of how we make a difference:
Annual Day of Service
Each year, our team enthusiastically rolls up their sleeves and dedicates an entire day to volunteering. Whether it’s sprucing up a local shelter, supporting food pantries at a nearby farm, or assisting at an animal shelter, we actively contribute to positive change.
Make-A-Wish Operation Dreammaker
We are honored to sponsor the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic’s Operation Dream Maker Program. It’s been a privilege to help make dreams come true for children battling critical illnesses.
Holiday Gift Drive
‘Tis the season of giving! Our holiday gift drive ensures that families in need experience the joy of the holidays. After gathering donations and shopping for gifts, we come together to wrap presents, spreading warmth and goodwill.
Annual Charity NFL Survivor Pool
Sports and philanthropy intersect at Chess Consulting when our employees, clients, and friends participate in our annual football survivor pool. Chess donates $50 for each participant and the total funds raised are donated to the winners’ favorite charities. It’s a win-win: participants enjoy the game, and the community benefits.
