a venture philanthropy Partnership

SV2’s mission is to build the

philanthropic capacity of our donor-partners, the

organizational capacity of our grantees, and our

community’s capacityto catalyze social change

SV2

What is Venture Philanthropy? Venture philanthropy works much like venture capital –

we invest not only money, but also our time, expertise, and networks in building the capacity of nonprofit organizations

All of SV2’s work is led and driven by our engaged donor-partners

Background on SV2: SV2 was founded by Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen,

Stanford faculty in Philanthropy, in 1998 as part of Community Foundation Silicon Valley (CFSV),now Silicon Valley Community Foundation

At our tenth anniversary last year, we became an independent nonprofit organization

In November, 2008 the Silicon Valley Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals named SV2 “Outstanding Philanthropic Organization of 2008”

Team Scharpf Family Giving Plan Goals We wanted to invest in organizations that focused on education and

children. We wanted the organizations to be well managed, efficient and truly

making an impact in their area of focus. We wanted to volunteer and be part of the organization. Most of all, we wanted to know that we were making an impact.

Questions Which organizations are making an impact in the areas we are

focusing on? Which organizations are coming up with new processes and ideas to

address the problems we face? Which have spark plug leaders and strong teams? Which are at an inflection point where our investment will really

make a difference? What kind of grant will help them the most? 1-year, 3-year,

matching, capacity building, or program related?
