Validation Training Institute 2023 Fundraiser
Welcome to the official donation page for Meridian Senior Living communities nationwide.

Founded by Naomi Feil in 1983, VTI is a U.S.-based, not-for-profit organization that offers progressively developed certification levels and training programs in addition to a network of national and regional Validation organizations to disseminate information, train interested individuals, and maintain the Validation Method, a distinct way of communicating with those with dementia. VTI’s ultimate objective is to “nurture respect, dignity and well-being in the lives of older adults experiencing age-related decline and their caregivers.” Validation is a method of communicating with and helping cognitively impaired seniors. It helps reduce stress, enhances dignity, and promotes happiness. Built on an empathetic and holistic approach, Validation asks caregivers to ‘step into the shoes’ of those with dementia and ‘see through their eyes to understand the meaning of their often-complex behaviors. This method allows seniors the opportunity to express, both verbal and non-verbal, their often-suppressed feelings and needs.

Give the Gift of Communication: VTI Fall 2022
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Fall Fundraiser. Know that we have received gifts from many others in other ways so our total raised is now about $17,000. That is fantastic. We aim high and are grateful to have gotten so far.

We'll keep this open until the end of the year for those of you who still want to contribute.

Your support uplifts us and gives us new energy. We go into the new year with many ambitious goals.

May you all have warm and loving holidays filled with connection and communication.

Vicki de Klerk-Rubin, Executive Director of the Validation Training Institute

Celebrating Naomi Feil's Legacy
This year our fall fundraiser theme is Celebrating Naomi Feil's Legacy!

The Validation Training Institute (VTI) is a virtual, non-profit organization. Our website is our office. We have 2 part-time staff members, a volunteer Executive Director and Board. That's it.

Donations from our Fall Fundraiser make up about a third of VTI's income, the rest comes from other donations, royalties and sales. All of these dollars go into the General Fund and are used to do the following:

· Improve and maintain our website

· Create new Validation training programs

· Make our training programs available in other languages

· Sell and market our training programs, books, and DVDs

· Maintain good financial practices: accounting, state charity registrations

Our 2020 Annual Report gives more information about how funds are distributed and on the same webpage you can find our financial statements.

The same values we use when we validate are those that we live by in this organization: honesty, integrity, transparency, empathy and flexibility. We serve the needs of others!

To show our appreciation for your support we are happy to offer the following items to acknowledge your generosity:

Supporter Level ($10-$29): Your name listed on the VTI website Supporters page after the campaign ends

Friend Level ($30-$59): A “thank you” video message from Validation method founder Naomi Feil

Advocate Level ($60-$119): Complimentary 48-hour access to stream a new Naomi Feil video series on Vimeo (includes three, 1-hour sessions that make up a full Naomi Feil workshop)

Validation Training Institute 2021 Fundraiser
In celebration of GivingTuesday on November 30, 2020, Meridian Senior Living’s more than 75 communities will host a Meridian Art Gallery and Auction as part of a fundraiser for the Validation Training Institute (VTI) and its work to train and educate people on effective communication techniques with residents who suffer from Alzheimer’s or dementia.

To raise VTI awareness and funds, each Meridian community will host an Artist Gallery and Reception featuring resident-created artwork for sale in an auction during Active Aging Week, October 4-10, 2021. In addition to the Meridian community-based artist galleries, each community will showcase a selection of the resident-created art pieces on their respective community Facebook page.

GivingTuesday (givingtuesday.org) is a “Global Generosity Movement” that urges people and organizations to donate time, funds, or offer a voice about a significant cause in their local community to make a positive impact. GivingTuesday was founded in 2012 as a simple idea of instituting one day for people to give back to their local or global community. Today, it has grown into a global undertaking including hundreds of millions of participants inspired to celebrate generosity. Meridian Senior Living has chosen to support VTI for GivingTuesday after years of seeing VTI’s methodology greatly benefit its residents.
