Community

We’re Virginians. We’re a Loudoun County business. And we’re deeply involved in our community. That’s why we’ve developed year-round initiatives that allow us to give back locally and partner with members of our community to make a positive impact.

Project Search

Since 2016, we’ve partnered with Loudoun County Public Schools to host 10 interns from Project SEARCH, a comprehensive career development program that prepares young people with significant disabilities for success in integrated, competitive employment.

BUYVA

At The National, we choose local. Our BUYVA (Buy Virginia) initiative allows us to give back to our community by spending locally and developing sustainable partnerships. And it’s propelled our hyperlocal, ingredient-driven food and beverage programs to award-winning levels.

Loudoun United FC

We’re huge soccer fans. And, as the Official Hospitality Partner & Jersey Sponsor of Loudoun United FC – D.C. United’s farm team – we get to support our home team at every match. We even offer our fellow super-fans a one-of-a-kind Loudoun United experience that includes game tickets, drink specials at Black Olive and overnight accommodations at The National.

Local Events

With our team of award-winning planners, it’s no surprise that we host some extraordinary community events. Each year we throw some of the area’s biggest blowouts, favorite festivities and treasured traditions – from our Black Olive Block Party series to our Halls of Horror package in partnership with The Arc of Loudoun’s Shocktober.
