A Parrish Gives Back Initiative

Vote for a nova school

Vote for a NOVA School is a community outreach program created by The Parrish Car Accident & Personal Injury Law Firm to support local schools across Northern Virginia. Through this program, we award grants to schools that make a positive impact on students, families, and their communities.

This program is part of Parrish Gives Back, Parrish’s commitment to giving back beyond the courtroom and supporting the people and organizations that make Northern Virginia a great place to live.

How the Program Works

Vote for a NOVA School runs three times per year, with one edition dedicated to each county:

  • Prince William County
  • Fairfax County
  • Loudoun County

During each county edition, community members are invited to nominate a local school. At the end of the nomination period, one school is selected to receive a $2,500 grant.

The selected school may use the funds in the way that best supports its students, teachers, classrooms, or educational programs.
