Serving Our Communities

Giving Back to our Communities

Serving our communities and helping others in need is a core TerpSys belief and business value. Of course, we've repeatedly been recognized for our efforts related to community service, and we appreciate that honor - but in the end, we don't do it for the recognition. We do it because it's the right thing to do.

Under our "3-Plus-1" giving structure, TerpSys supports the same three non-profit organizations every year:

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation,
The National Capital Area Alzheimer's Association, and
For Love of Children.

One additional non-profit organization, chosen from employee nominations, changes annually. Our "Plus-1" cause for 2009 is the March of Dimes.

But "giving back" at TerpSys goes far beyond writing checks. We also:

Collect food and clothes for emergency shelters,
Send volunteers to the D.C. Special Olympics Summer Games, and
Donate toys for needy children every holiday season.

Our generous staff makes this possible. In 2008 alone, they put in over 1,200 volunteer hours, donated over $140,000, and help raise another $60,000. TerpSys provides quiet encouragement via paid volunteer leave and a business structure that promotes active involvement in community service.

And incidentally, TerpSys is privileged to support a number of customers dedicated to some pretty noble causes. Therefore, we take our responsibility to support them just as seriously as they take their varied and praiseworthy missions, including curing cancer by 2015, promoting world peace and ending hunger. We like to think that that's a kind of "community service" as well.

Coming together as a company - and as family - TerpSys reaches out to help.
