Serving the Community

Ventera embraces the responsibility of serving our community to make it better. We encourage our people to get involved in worthy causes outside of work, to give back to our community and also to help them maintain a rewarding, healthy work-life balance.

Our commitment starts with Robert Acosta, Ventera’s founder and CEO. Robert sits on the Board of Directors of The Neediest Kids, a non-profit organization that provides assistance to disadvantaged youth in the Washington D.C. area. The Neediest Kids works directly with school administrators and community leaders to identify at-risk school children and provide them with items essential to their attendance and success in school – basics such as meals, eyeglasses, clothes, and school supplies. Robert also coaches youth baseball, soccer, and basketball teams year-round and he is a member of the Baseball Board of Directors for the Chantilly Youth Association.

At the corporate level, Ventera donates substantial time and money annually to causes such as the Fannie Mae Foundation, the Leukemia Society, the American Stroke Association, Relief Interactive, the Dave Lamanca Memorial Golf Scholarship, Volunteer Fairfax, Arlington, Fairfax, and Prince William County Public Schools, and the D.C. Habitat for Humanity.

For these and other contributions to the community, Ventera is a multi-year recipient of the Washington Business Journal Circle of Community Investors Award, recognizing Ventera’s contributions of time and financial resources to community organizations in the Washington D.C. area.
