Our work in real estate is about helping people find their dream homes. At the heart of it all is a passion to serve others – and not just those within our reach. Venture.org has been our long-time partner to fulfill this mission.

Why We Chose Venture.org

The situation in certain parts of the world has led to ongoing tragedies such as refugee crises, human trafficking, extreme poverty, and oppression. In these places, providing marginalized communities with the support they need is difficult. It’s here where the organization focuses its efforts.

Venture.org’s goal is to end the injustices experienced in these places. They work together with the local community to address immediate needs and provide lasting support. Through their programs, they develop future leaders that will also uplift their community through acts of faith and service.

How They Help

It’s difficult to reach people in tough places. But even in the face of such obstacles, Venture.org and their supporters have managed to make a positive impact.

Here are some of the ways their community has made a difference just last year:

• 728 people received care and safe housing from trafficking
• 7.1 million meals delivered
• 800+ farmers equipped to support their livelihood
• 1,203 people provided with quality education
• 375 Hygiene kits provided
• 181 Churches planted

What Knob & Key Is Doing

We’ve worked closely with Venture.org for over 10 years. On top of frequent donations, our team is also personally involved.

In October 2020, Knob & Key CEO Michele Ozymy ran a half marathon to raise money for their cause. Alan Simonton, our executive director, also joined Venture.org during their outreach to Nepal to provide education for young women.
