A Giving Back Initiative
A Giving Back Initiative
When you partner with Harrity, you’re part of something bigger. After co-founding partner John Harrity survived a near-fatal “widow-maker” heart attack against million-to-one odds, he and his brother Paul built a firm that delivers exceptional patent services while creating real impact. Through Harrity 4 Charity, we pledge 5% of profits to nonprofit partners, and every team member contributes to causes they believe in. For clients, your work fuels life-changing initiatives. For prospective team members, it means joining a firm where purpose and excellence go hand in hand. At Harrity, giving back is who we are.

We chose to donate a portion of our profits to Inova Children’s because we want to help families of hospitalized children be able to focus their attention on their sick child and not their financial situation. Inova Children’s Hospital is a premier hospital for pediatric patients. Their state of the art facility treats infants, children, and adolescents in a variety of areas. Harrity & Harrity’s donation will benefit the families of Inova Children’s Hospital’s patients, and will provide them with financial support for child care, medical bills, prescriptions, household bills, travel costs, and other life-changing necessities for pediatric patients.

Patent Pathways® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing barriers to equal opportunity in the patent bar through free, virtual education, practical exercises, ongoing mentorship, career matching, and financial support, thanks to the generosity of our program partners, sponsors, and volunteers. The goal is to transform accessibility to the patent bar by providing each participant with the tools needed to take and pass the patent bar exam, and begin their pathway into a career in patent law. You can help make the patent field more accessible by donating or joining our cause below.

At Harrity, Give 2 Give reflects a shared commitment to giving back for the sole purpose of helping others, expecting nothing in return. Led by Alexander Zajac, our Pro Bono Program partners with organizations such as the Community Law Center and the Homeless Persons Representation Project to strengthen communities and support veterans in need, including through the Veterans Legal Assistance Project.
“Harrity’s Give to Give pro bono program is all about giving. Our attorneys average 30–35 hours of rewarding work per week, with no minimum requirement, so we are happy to volunteer additional time for causes that we care about. What we get in return is meaningful work with a tangible benefit – helping local charities and veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness – while still getting to enjoy time with family and make great money.” — Alexander Zajac, Counsel
Through Give 2 Give, our team advances access to justice while reinforcing the values of service, empowerment, and community that define our culture.
