Holiday Giving Campaign Opens Today

We welcome you to join us as we kick-off our third annual holiday giving campaign. Now through December 15, you can help us #ClearTheList by purchasing one of many Amazon Wish List items to benefit students at the James McHenry Elementary + Middle School.

For every dollar that goes toward a purchase from the wish list, the Ventas Charitable Foundation will match 1:1 with a donation to support students and families in need.

About the Holiday Giving Campaign

Since 2021, our colleagues have supported our Ventas communities by donating gifts, coats, backpacks and other much-needed supplies to students in underinvested communities in markets where we have operations.  Last year, Ventas employees and our community contributed the equivalent of $15,000 in supplies and gifts, which was matched dollar-for-dollar by the Ventas Charitable Foundation.

Expanding Our Impact in 2023

We are excited to expand our impact to reach even more families in need this year. The 2023 Holiday Giving Campaign will support:

• The James McHenry Elementary + Middle School in Baltimore, Maryland, which is adjacent to the UM BioPark campus and approximately one block from our UMB assets, including the new 4MLK development. The school supports more than 700 students in the surrounding local community. Our goal is to provide each student with a give from the Amazon Wish List.

• Samuel Powel Elementary School and the Science Leadership Academy Middle School (“P/SLA-MS”) in West Philadelphia. Ventas donated nearly $9 million to provide major funding for the design, construction and development of the P/SLA-MS K-8 public school facility on the University City (“uCity”) campus. The schools support more than 800 students in the local community. A portion of this year’s matching gift from the Ventas Charitable Foundation will go towards support for P/SLA-MS. 

• Wellspring Women’s Center:  This year we welcome Wellspring Women’s Center to our Ventas community. Wellspring serves the community adjacent to our UC Davis development in Sacramento, California. Wellspring serves over 200 women and children experiencing poverty by providing nutritious meals, practical needs (such as diapers or bus tickets), counseling / advocacy and enrichment activities for children. 25% of their clients are unhoused, and the remainder have an average annual income of $7,000. A portion of this year’s matching gift from the Ventas Charitable Foundation will go towards support for the Wellspring Women’s Center.  

Dollar-for-Dollar Match from the Ventas Charitable Foundation

The Ventas Charitable Foundation will match every dollar that goes toward a purchase from the wish list. This is an opportunity to double your impact!
