Vertical Bridge Charitable Network Achieves Over $14 Million in Philanthropy

Vertical Bridge Charitable Network Reaches New Heights in Philanthropy

Vertical Bridge REIT, LLC has made headlines once again as it announces that its charitable initiative, the Vertical Bridge Charitable Network (VBCN), has exceeded an impressive $14 million in cash donations since its inception in 2014. This remarkable achievement marks a significant milestone for the company, reflecting its commitment to give back to communities across the United States.

Supporting Local Communities

The VBCN has dedicated itself to being a beacon of hope, particularly for the youth. In 2024 alone, the network allocated more than $2.4 million to over 130 nonprofit organizations focused on various causes—primarily centered around supporting children, enhancing educational opportunities, and providing disaster relief. The effort has mobilized a team of employees willing to devote their time and resources, showcasing the company’s core values that emphasize community engagement.

Recognizing Employee Participation

One of the standout achievements of the VBCN program is the consistent 100% volunteer participation rate from Vertical Bridge employees. This unwavering commitment was celebrated as the company wrapped up its 10-year anniversary in 2024. Ron Bizick, President and CEO, expressed his pride in the team’s accomplishments, highlighting how crucial these initiatives are in fostering a culture of generosity and support within the organization.

Meaningful Initiatives in Action

Through various programs, including financial donations, employee gift-matching initiatives, and organized volunteer days, VBCN has made a direct impact. A particular highlight from the past year was a large-scale bike assembly event where employees collaborated with OnBikes to construct 400 bicycles destined for at-risk children, including those from homeless and foster backgrounds. Additionally, VBCN joined hands with Convoy of Hope for a company-wide project that produced 600 hygiene kits to replenish emergency supplies for those in need.

Ongoing Commitment

Alex Gellman, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder, believes that the long-term impact VBCN has made over the last ten years is a testament to the dedication and spirit of Vertical Bridge's employees. Gellman underscores that VBCN is integral to the company’s culture, laying a foundation for creating positive change in the community. As they look towards the future, the organization remains committed to bolstering its efforts and continuing to support local communities in the coming years.
