Our Values
We often describe Social Venture Partners as “like-minded individuals” not because we are alike politically, socially or professionally but because we share these common values:
- A strong sense of community is vital to our Partnership and we favor opportunities that require collective effort.
- Our impact is rooted in the active investment of our Partners’ resources.
- We intend to define, measure, and find leverage in our community investments.
- We are actively committed to the success of our Investees. We will be frank and honest with them and advocate for them for the greater good of the community and proper use of our donors’ resources.
- We seek to learn from the perspective and capabilities of the nonprofit community and share sound business principles.
- We take calculated risks and seek to learn from the benefits and consequences of their outcomes.
- We choose to not align ourselves with any particular political or religious viewpoint.
