Venable Foundation Annual Report | FY2023

“ In the course of my legal work for the Madison Square Boys & Girls Club, I’ve learned what an important role the club plays in the lives of the young people it serves. It’s gratifying that the Venable Foundation can provide financial support for the impactful work of this organization.” “I was introduced to Christodora through a law school friend who sits on its board, and we’ve run a couple of half marathons to raise funds for the organization. I love the outdoors and feel connected to Christadora’s mission to provide wilderness experiences to inner-city youths.” “Supporting the Washington Urban Debate League is one of the best ways to positively and directly impact our local community by developing a pipeline of students who will become lawyers or, more importantly, will use their debate and public-speaking skills to be more competitive and successful in their careers and endeavors.” “It is my honor and a privilege to serve on the executive board of the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust, which was founded in 2002 and focuses its efforts exclusively on creating parks and gardens for communities of color, empowering the community to become engaged and its members to connect with each other.” Justin E.
