Our commitment to Community

At CHRIS, our work is grounded in Heart, History, and Hustle.

We believe that preserving cultural resources means not only protecting the past, but also investing in our communities today.

Through our Community Impact Initiative, CHRIS donates professional services each year to selected community projects that align with our mission:

  • Preserving local history

  • Honoring cultural heritage

  • Supporting historically underrepresented communities

We know that meaningful projects don’t always come with big budgets. That’s why CHRIS is proud to offer assistance to a limited number of projects annually at no cost to the community group.

How It Works:

  • Community groups, nonprofits, or individuals with a preservation-related project can submit a request for consideration.

  • Complete our Community Impact Request Form

  • CHRIS reviews forms on a rolling basis and selects projects based on impact, need, and alignment with our values.

  • Selected projects will receive pro bono, severally reduced cost, or partially funded cultural resource services such as archaeological survey, historic research, or preservation planning.
