Five years after its founding, VPP is turning our initial vision into a reality-with tangible, compelling results and a clearer understanding of the truly formidable nature of this undertaking. What's more, we are having an impact across a number of different sectors. Thanks to the efforts of many, and fully recognizing that much more needs to be done, the early results of VPP's first five years include:

• An investment approach for nonprofits that's working.
• Stronger, more effective organizations serving more children better.
• An emerging community of high net worth individuals and families.

And these investments will continue to pay off year after year for children and the region as we continue to deploy additional capital and our nonprofit partners make even more progress.

In this section, you will find detailed information on the impact we are having on the twelve organizations in our portfolio and the resulting impact they are having on the lives of children and families in the National Capital Region. Here you can learn how we assess performance, read about the progress of each individual nonprofit investment partner, see how the VPP portfolio is increasing in organizational effectiveness and key areas of organizational development. You can also downloaded PDF versions of much of this material in the form of two reports:
