Venture Philanthropy Partners

Venture Philanthropy Partners is an innovator community that builds strong organizations and strategic networks that measurably improve the lives of children and youth. We’re focused on our own backyard. They say home is where the heart is, and you’ll find ours deep in Greater Washington. We listen closely and learn constantly so that we better understand the struggles our young people face. It’s not about easy answers or simple solutions; we dig in and get our hands dirty. We work here and only here because this is our home. We believe investments are about partnership. We walk step by step with organizations to develop leaders and realize potential at all levels. We’re a passionate group of doers and thinkers who build effectively, train continually, collaborate relentlessly, and measure meticulously. Progress comes through big dreams and detailed plans, and we specialize in both to help our partners accomplish amazing things. We invest—truly invest—to help more leaders do more good for more children and youth.
