ELIGIBILITY

Social Venture Partners works with 501(c)(3) organizations that improve the lives’ of children and youth. We follow a venture philanthropy model that provides both financial and technical assistance for the organization’s we support. We have found the combination of financial investment and investment of our members’ business skills for organizational capacity building produces the best long-term results for our investees. We provide multi-year funding in the form of grants up to $25,000 per year to be used for general operating support. Social Venture Partners is committed to multi-year funding of its investees (2-4 years) because we believe that this creates the greatest potential for improving the investee’s organizational effectiveness. Each investee is required, however, to develop mutually agreed upon performance milestones and report on their attainment to determine if another round of investment will be awarded.
