Venture Philanthropy Partners
 
 


Investors

One of Venture Philanthropy Partners’ (VPP) greatest strengths is its remarkable investors—a group of individuals, families, and institutions who have made significant business and philanthropic contributions to the National Capital Region and beyond. Despite differing political and business backgrounds, these investors have all found common ground in VPP’s mission to serve the needs of children of low-income families in the region and to demonstrate a unique approach to effective philanthropy. VPP's growing circle of investors have come together to help capitalize VPP’s next phase. Their generous investment will allow VPP to provide additional growth capital for investments in nonprofits and finance VPP’s own operations and expansion from 2008 into 2014.
