Our founder, A.G. Van Metre, was a lifelong resident of the greater Washington, DC area, and demonstrated a long legacy of philanthropy that focused on local charities. Today, we honor his memory by continuing this tradition of supporting these same local charities that were so important to him.

Children's National Medical Center

• In July 2010, Children's National Medical Center honored the Van Metre Companies for our donations to fund a state-of-the-art cardiovascular surgery suite.
• The Van Metre 5K Race for Children's National Medical Center is a long-standing annual tradition, and to date has raised over $2.1 million dollars for the hospital.

It will be built on a 5-acre parcel in our Stone Ridge community on Route 50 in Loudoun County that was donated by Mr. Van Metre.
• An annual Polo Cup & Luncheon is chaired by Dea and Beau Van Metre to raise money for this organization.
• To date, our support for Capital Hospice over the last 25 years has raised over $600,000 to help fund patient programs, education and research.

• Van Metre is the proud sponsor of the Stone Ridge 5K Race for Education, which attracts over 1,000 runners annually to raise money for Loudoun County schools that surround the community.
