Community Venture Partners

CVP facilitates and assists community-serving projects, programs, and initiatives that demonstrate the highest principles of economic, social, and environmental equity and sustainability. ▪ Donor Advised Funds Community Venture Partners offers donor-advised funds (DAFs) to qualified individuals who seek to maximize the impact of their charitable giving over time. ▪ Social Impact Investing Social impact investing, sometimes referred to as "triple bottom line" investing (offering financial, environmental, and social returns), is changing the way capital is allocated for doing good around the world. Increasingly, this involves the use of "hybrid" financing models. Hybrid funding involves the combination of grants and donations with for-profit investment capital and corporate sponsorship. Nonprofit/for-profit hybrid financing methods have been the financing workhorse in other areas that seek to produce both public benefits and "social venture" returns. Examples are found in public transportation, medical research, and technology development. By mixing for-profit investment with traditional nonprofit funding, CVP seeks to redefine how development projects and local community initiatives can be financed and help to realize solutions that might otherwise not be feasible using either approach alone.
