COMMUNITY
We value community involvement and investment in St. Paul, Minneapolis and surrounding neighborhoods. This “investment” goes well beyond real-estate deals. By using our time and talents to become actively engaged in community events and non-profit organizations, we leverage our financial investments. Whether it is a short-term need, such as providing the space for a non-profit service group, or helping victims of hurricane Katrina, we are engaged far beyond our office walls.
Involvement
Our employees have led local business organizations, participated in youth leadership on the YMCA board, tutored weekly at Hancock Elementary School, founded a Neighborhood Foundation that has created over 150 units of affordable housing, led St. Paul school and business partnership programs, coached youth sports, chaired a record fund drive for Friends of the St. Paul Library, served on the Regions Hospital Board, and joined the Central Corridor Task Force, to name a few! We are proud to be making a difference in our communities.
Investment
Wellington Management supports the arts and non-profit services through our financial investments, as well as through our time. We sponsor the Arts Off Raymond Art Crawl and purchase the work of community artists for our residential properties. We are currently working on a new project with Forecast Art to commission local public art for visible pedestrian points at our Lexington University and 2700 The Avenue properties. We continue to make other investments to increase the collective well-being of our communities, with focus on the arts, literacy and housing.
