The list honors the Washington region's most “active and inspirational” companies and nonprofits that have made a difference in their communities through financial and volunteer philanthropic work, charitable giving, volunteer hours, and pro bono work.

Crowell & Moring ranked 9^th among 25 area law firms for legal service to those who cannot afford lawyers, with 31,694 hours contributed in 2019 by the firm's Washington, D.C. office.
