Venable's community service commitment serves as tangible evidence of our belief that a law firm is not a building full of people, but rather a participant and an agent for positive change in the communities in which we live and work.

The contributions of Venable attorneys and staff members are far-reaching and significant. They build housing for the homeless and work in soup kitchens; they volunteer at legal clinics and serve as innovative leaders and indispensable hands for a myriad of public interest organizations, religious institutions, schools, hospitals and other valuable community institutions.

Venable also maintains one of the largest law firm philanthropic foundations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Funded entirely through the generosity of our partners, the Venable Foundation provides grants to a broad array of civic, educational, legal and social services organizations.

In all, Venable attorneys and staff give thousands of hours of their time and diverse talents to making their communities a better place. The firm encourages their efforts and is extremely proud of their commitment and the results they achieve.
