The vision of Venture Philanthropy Partners is a core of high-performing nonprofit institutions operating with compelling levels of leadership in an environment fully supportive of giving all children in the National Capital Region the opportunity to grow into adults leading healthy, productive lives and to carry on the American dream for themselves, their families, and their children.

The mission of Venture Philanthropy Partners is to concentrate investments of money, expertise, and personal contacts to improve the lives and boost the opportunities of children and youth of low-income families in the National Capital Region. We do so by helping effective community leaders build strong nonprofit institutions and by cultivating an engaged donor community to generate funding and influence in support of these institutions and of social change.
