VPP invests in high-performing nonprofit organizations that are serving the core healthy developmental, learning, and educational needs of children from low-income families in the National Capital Region. Although we do not have any desire to achieve a financial return on the money we contribute, we do hope to help nonprofit leaders grow their organizations in size, strength, and community impact. And by demonstrating the value of our approach, we hope to inspire philanthropists, corporate and nonprofit leaders, and public policymakers to help increase the effectiveness and the flow of capital, talent, and other resources to nonprofit organizations showing the greatest potential for improving the lives of children.
