Venture Philanthropy Partners: Investing in Social Change.

Reports

Since its inception, VPP has devoted considerable resources to publishing reports for the benefit of those who are involved in helping—or looking at ways to help—nonprofit organizations become stronger, more effective, and more enduring. VPP’s reports, which we often create in conjunction with outstanding partners like McKinsey & Company and Community Wealth Ventures (CWV), survey the fields of venture philanthropy and high-engagement grantmaking and offer new research and tools to advance management practices in the nonprofit sector.

Our reports are in PDF format. To view a PDF file, make sure you have the free Adobe Acrobat reader. If you have any trouble viewing, downloading, or printing our reports, please contact us.
