VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: Thalhimer’s Virginia Beach office raised $529 for the Virginia Zoological Society during the 2nd quarter of 2025 through Thalhimer Gives. Including Thalhimer’s dollar-for-dollar company match, they presented a check to them for $1,058. Several Thalhimer associates volunteered on May 29th by assisting in clearing out brush and weeds in their African Village Garden to help prepare the zoo for their upcoming 125th anniversary celebration. Erik Conradi even went out of his way to get poison ivy on his venture!

About Thalhimer Gives
Founded in 2018, Thalhimer Gives is a companywide initiative focused on community involvement and charitable giving in the markets we serve. Through Thalhimer Gives, our associates actively engage in the community by donating financially, providing much-needed supplies, and giving generously of their time, with paid time off, to local non-profit organizations. To-date, Thalhimer Gives has donated more than $301,446 to local charitable organizations.

Organizations are nominated each year by Thalhimer associates who are actively involved with a non-profit or passionate about the organization. Selection criteria include the organizations’ status as a registered 501(c)(3), their impact on the communities in which we serve, and the opportunities available for Thalhimer to donate financially, volunteer our time through multiple events, and provide supplies. The selection committee also focuses on selecting a diverse group of organizations. Four charities are selected each year, with one highlighted each fiscal quarter. As part of the program, associates donate to each organization and at the end of the quarter, Thalhimer matches this amount and donates the funds to the charity.

In 2024, we donated a total of $63,881, collected thousands of supplies, and associates volunteered 614 hours to local charities.
