Venture Philanthropy Partners is based, as its name suggests, upon a partnership approach. When we initiate an investment in a high-performing nonprofit organization, we call that organization an “investment partner” rather than a “grantee,” because we aspire to develop a close, long-term relationship. We are not naive enough to believe that the power differential between grantmaker and grantseeker magically disappears, but we do make every effort to build trust between the parties, share risks, and structure the relationship so that our success is directly predicated on our partners' success.
