Wallace & Graham Gives

Wallace & Graham is comprised of over 60 attorneys and legal professionals rooted in three office buildings in the heart of downtown Salisbury in Rowan County. Since our inception in 1981, Wallace & Graham has been focused on charitable giving, particularly in the local Rowan County community.

On April 24, 2020, Wallace & Graham, P.A. proudly launched a charitable giving effort, Wallace & Graham Gives, with an initial $10,000.00 donation to the Rowan County United Way COVID-19 Relief Fund. W&G Gives was launched to publicly show the firm's annual commitment to charitable giving and to allow our firm's employees to have an active stake and engagement in the process.

W&G Gives Mission Statement: To explore issues impacting our community and to develop a responsive, meaningful giving program each year to promote enduring, sincere relationships between Wallace & Graham and the community at large.

The W&G Gives Committee is comprised of current Wallace & Graham employees, who decide annually how to distribute designated funds to the community and/or to our deserving clients. Our board members for the 2022-2024 term are:

Terri Hess House

Terri Hess House received 254 children referrals in Rowan County last year with 30% identifying as LGBTQIA. Powerful statistic –LGBTQIA kids need help at disproportional rates and there is NO one in our community trained and geared to help them. Because Terri Hess House identified the need and understands that it’s counselors/programs are not designed to help these kids, they are partnering with another nonprofit out of NYC and starting a new counseling program in Rowan County to help.
