Our Partners
What Makes a Social Venture Partner?
Our Partners have diverse backgrounds and work in a range of industries, bringing unique skills, resources and perspectives to our participation in SVPP. But for all our variety, there are several important attributes that we have in common.
- Entrepreneurial – Partners are innovative, creative and solutions-driven…and expect the same of their philanthropy.
- Curious – Partners educate themselves to become informed and effective philanthropists.
- Collaborative – Partners admit what they don’t know and share what they do. We can delegate as well as take on assignments ourselves.
- Respectful – Partners foster mutual respect with each other and within Investee relationships.
- Interested in Leverage – All Partners invest some combination of time, expertise and money in our community efforts. These provide leverage for deep community impact.
- Accountable – Partners are accountable to each other, our Investees and the community.
- Results-oriented – Partners achieve and document measurable results.
