Hey - if anyone can help this would be great. I want to arrange a private chess tournament for my work as a charity event. It would be a private tournament. Is this something I can do through chess.com?

If everyone is a chess.com member, you could host a daily tournament (if you have premium), and then make it invitation only.
I think you can do a similar thing with a live tourney in clubs.

As mentioned, you could do a Daily Chess tourney, as a premium member. For Live Chess, the best way would likely be to create a private club, and once all the players are on site, have them join the club or directly invite them.

 

The Live tourney system isn't very flexible, so you would be left with using the automatic pairing system, or do manual pairings and have each player create unrated challenges to there opponents. I've done that before, though there are sometimes some issues.
