{FREDERICK, MARYLAND, October 2020} – Ruppert Properties announced a partnership with Federated Charities that will support the organization’s most urgent needs through the pandemic, namely the need for more robust virtual meeting and IT platforms.
“Our nonprofit tenant-partners operate their safety nets on razor-thin margins and have continued to provide critical emergency services during the pandemic”, noted Executive Director of Federated Charities, Elin Ross. “Through a donation from Ruppert Properties, Federated Charities will be able to continue to underwrite through 2021 the secure virtual meeting platform and IT infrastructure that they use to continue to provide counseling, legal consultation, medical appointments and other programming to their clients.”
In addition to providing support for their most urgent need, Ruppert Properties has also committed an annual pledge to assist in the continued maintenance of their historic home on South Market Street. “As our neighbors in downtown Frederick, it is our privilege to be able to contribute both monetary and professional resources to Federated Charities”, said Ruppert Properties’ Managing Partner Bill Meissner, “We are in the business of ‘property’ and this is a very special piece of property that we are making a long-term commitment to. By investing in the bricks and mortar of Federated Charities, we feel we are investing in Frederick’s nonprofit community as a whole.”
Serving as Frederick’s only nonprofit center, Federated Charities provides support and resources to their building’s nonprofit tenants to ensure that more resources go into their mission-based services. By providing below-market rent, professional services and training programs, tenants at Federated Charities collectively put an additional $250,000 on average annually back into their direct service programs.
