In recognition of Investments Limited’s 50th Anniversary, the Batmasian family pledges to match donations up to $150,000 in support of vital causes throughout the community.
Investments Limited, the region’s largest privately-held real estate management company, announces its landmark initiative, the “Boca Raton Community Collective – for the Greater Good” campaign. This campaign aims to foster community spirit and support local nonprofits that are making a difference in the region.
The Boca Raton Community Collective campaign will officially kick off on December 1, 2024. Having donated over $50 million to non-profits in the region over the past 50 years, Investments Limited’s giving back campaign will be one of the most comprehensive fundraising initiatives in the city’s history. The Community Collective will galvanize support for local charities and nonprofits that support health, hunger, our heroes, homelessness and housing, humanity, education, children and families, the arts, and more. Nonprofits including Place of Hope, TriCounty Animal Rescue League, PROPEL, Boca Raton Police Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Aid to Victims of Domestic Assault, Changing Lives, American Cancer Society and Make A Wish are a few of the many vital causes that will receive donations through the collective; or you can choose to nominate a nonprofit.
The Boca Raton Community Collective aims to highlight and support the diverse array of nonprofits dedicated to supporting and improving our community.
Residents and businesses are invited to donate to the diverse nonprofits and every dollar donated will be matched by James and Marta Batmasian, founders of Investments Limited and the Batmasian Family Foundation. Donations will be collected throughout the charitable giving months of December and January, with all donations placed by December 30, 2024 matched 100%, (up to $150,000) for a total combined donation goal of $300,000. Updates on the campaign’s progress will be provided throughout the campaign and donations will be accepted until the match is met. The total tally of donations and Batmasian’s matched contribution will be announced around the New Year with the distribution of the funds evenly distributed to all 20 nonprofits.
Jim and Marta Batmasian expressed their passion behind the initiative: “As we celebrate 50 years since starting Investments Limited, we wanted to emphasize the importance of community and giving back. We started with very little and have built our company over the years with a tireless mission to improve the community around us and support organizations in need. With the Boca Community Collective, we hope to create a lasting impact that reflects the spirit of unity and generosity that has been the cornerstone of our company and this region.”
The Batmasian’s journey began in 1970 with a $500 down payment to purchase a $20,000 three-family home near Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, where they met in college. They continued to invest in commercial and residential real estate in Massachusetts and especially South Florida, building a portfolio of $4+ billion today. Since their humble beginnings, they have served on the boards and contributed to nearly 100 nonprofits to provide much-needed support for education, medical causes, arts & culture, housing, children & families, and the underprivileged. Their contributions can also be seen by driving throughout the city having invested in and renovated numerous retail centers and residential communities including Royal Palm Place, Shops at University Park, Fifth Avenue Shoppes, Legacy Place, and Sanctuary Tower & Shoppes – to name a few including the new development: Glades Station at the corner of Glades & Dixie highway.
As the City of Boca Raton enters into their 100th anniversary, the Boca Community Collective launched by Investments Limited will empower businesses and residents to join together in one common goal – for the greater good of all. Every dollar will make a significant positive impact on the 20+ nonprofits and community as a whole.
Individuals and businesses are encouraged to participate in this heartfelt campaign and help reach the total collective goal of raising over $300,000, including the family’s match, to disperse to the nonprofits. Together, every person and every dollar can make a significant positive impact in our community.
