Venture Global presents a check donation to the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana at the New Orleans Saints Ochsner Sports Performance Center.
Catch for the Coast was launched during the 2024 NFL season, where Venture Global committed to donating $10 for every receiving yard gained by the Saints towards coastal restoration efforts in Louisiana. The Saints accumulated a total of 3,730 receiving yards this season, resulting in the $37,300 donation from Venture Global.
'As a committed community partner in Plaquemines Parish, along the coast, and throughout the state, Venture Global is proud to support efforts that help protect and restore such vital parts of Louisiana. Initiatives like Catch for the Coast reflect our belief that supporting local programs to better our communities, such as coastal restoration, is key to ensuring a future of strength and growth in Louisiana. Venture Global is committed to being a good neighbor and a long-term partner in the restoration of Louisiana's coast, while providing the world with needed low-cost, reliable American LNG,' said Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel.
'Protecting and restoring our coast is one of the most important challenges facing Louisiana today. I applaud Venture Global and the Saints for investing in real solutions that strengthen our communities and preserve our way of life,' said Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry.
'Our coast is deeply connected to the identity, culture, and future of our region,' said Gayle Benson, Owner of the New Orleans Saints. 'We are proud to partner with Venture Global on Catch for the Coast to support the important work being done by CRCL to protect and restore Louisiana's coastline for generations to come.'
'Louisiana is losing a football field of coastal wetlands every 100 minutes, jeopardizing the future of our communities, our industries and our culture, but we have science-based methods of fighting back,' said Kim Reyher, the executive director of CRCL. 'This is our goal-line stand, and we're so grateful to partner with the Saints and Venture Global to protect our future.'

The Best $250 You Can Spend on Retirement Planning Before the End of 2025
Do you feel like you're grappling in the dark when it comes to retirement planning but aren't sure where to turn or if you should spend money to get those plans in order? If you have even a few hundred dollars, there are a few ways you can use that money to make a significant difference in your retirement goals. Be Aware: Read Next: Christopher Stroup, a CFP and owner of Silicon Beach Financial, offered tips on the best $250 or less you can spend on your retirement planning before this year is up to feel confident in where you're going. An Hour With a Fiduciary Advisor If you only have a couple hundred dollars to spend, Stroup recommended you spend it on a one-time planning session with a fiduciary advisor who specializes in retirement planning. 'A targeted session can identify overlooked tax strategies, prioritize savings vehicles and help avoid costly missteps,' he explained. Even just a single hour of personalized advice can provide more clarity than weeks of online research, especially for entrepreneurs or tech professionals navigating equity, cash flow and multiple income sources, he said. 'Look for advisors who offer project-based or hourly services and focus on tax strategy, Social Security and withdrawal planning,' he said. You should come away from a one-time session 'with clarity, not a sales pitch.' Learn More: A Social Security Timing Analysis Another great way to spend a few hundred dollars is to get a Social Security timing analysis, Stroup said. 'For under $250, you can model break-even ages, spousal benefits and the impact of delaying benefits.' This analysis is important because this single decision can mean tens of thousands more over your lifetime, especially for dual-income households or individuals with uneven earnings histories, Stroup explained. Strategic Tax Planning If you feel you have more questions for a fiduciary advisor than can be summed up in an hour, consider focusing the session around strategic tax planning, Stroup urged. This can help you avoid future Medicare surcharges, minimize required minimum withdrawal (RMD) taxes and better time Roth conversions. 'A well-timed projection can reveal opportunities that disappear at retirement or when tax brackets shift. Spending a few hundred now can prevent five-figure tax mistakes later.' Invest In Planning Tools, but Be Cautious For a low annual cost, tools like Boldin's retirement planning tool allow users to stress-test income scenarios, Social Security timing, Roth conversions and healthcare costs, Stroup said. Retirement planning tools that map out your income, expenses and drawdown strategy can be useful. They can also help you understand your 'burn rate' and how to sequence withdrawals to prevent common missteps that derail early retirement plans. However, Stroup warned that the simpler, more DIY tools can make it too easy to 'underestimate taxes on withdrawals, mistime Social Security or hold too much in cash or high-fee funds.' Thus, a small investment in expert guidance or advanced planning software can flag these risks early before they compound over decades.

Is Chevron (CVX) a Good Investment for Passive Income?
Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) is included among the 12 Best Oil and Gas Dividend Stocks to Buy Now. An aerial view of an oil rig at sea, the sun glinting off its structure. One of the largest oil and gas producers in the world, Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX)'s consistently strong financial performance has allowed it to increase its dividend payout for 38 consecutive years. The company has returned over $78 billion to its shareholders over the past three years alone. Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) boasts one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry, with a debt-to-equity ratio of roughly 0.2 at the end of the first quarter of 2025. This allows the energy giant to take on debt during the down cycles of the industry, so it can continue to support its business and sustain payouts. However, the recent slump in crude oil prices is beginning to take its toll, with the company revealing that its share repurchases this year could be between $11.5 billion and $13 billion, which would be at the lower end of its guidance of $10 billion to $20 billion. Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) manufactures and sells a range of high-quality refined products, including gasoline, diesel, marine and aviation fuels, premium base oil, finished lubricants, and fuel oil additives. While we acknowledge the potential of CVX as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
