Giving Back
“When we founded ALX Community back in 2018, we started with very little, but I knew we wanted our ‘community’ to reach beyond our shared office walls. The positive impact that our collective efforts have made has far surpassed anything we could have imagined, truly making ALX Community more than a workplace.” – Kelly Grant, COO
ALX Community is More Than a Workspace
We believe giving back to our community is important. We know how hard it can be to find an organization or the time in your day to help out. We curate Community Caring events right at ALX, so you can hop out of your office, make a few sandwiches, and get right back to work. All Community Caring events are open to members and the public to participate, so feel free to tell your friends.

Best in Business – Small & Mighty 2023 | Inc. Magazine
This award recognizes small businesses that thrive at powering other businesses often without the resources of their larger peers or competitors. These are the companies that have done the most with the least. Inc.’s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and on society. Regionally, 19 companies in the DMV received recognition, with ALX Community being the only Alexandria-based company. The full honoree list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine, recognizes the most dynamic companies of all sizes and industries that have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.
Awarded Overall Business of the Year 2023 | Alexandria Chamber of Commerce
The Alexandria Chamber of Commerce‘s Best In Business celebration is our annual recognition of companies setting themselves apart as leaders in the area. We were delighted to be honored as Business of the Year for our Give Back initiatives, both for our employees and members.
Business Philanthropist of the Year 2021 | Volunteer Alexandria
Volunteer Alexandria honored our own Chief Operating Officer, Kelly Grant, with this award for the many community-centered giving operations she has initiated.
In late 2020, after five months of an exhausting pandemic, Grant struck oil after launching the Alexandria Drive-In. The effort raised more than $160,000, with more than 12,000 people safely seeing movies on the big screen again. Proceeds from the films went to ACT for Alexandria, the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria and Athena Rapid Response.
