Social Venture Partners Portland congratulates our Executive Director, Mark Holloway, for being named as one of Portland’s “Forty Under 40″ by the Portland Business Journal.

In his time at SVPP, he has recruited more than 45 new Partners to SVPP and engaged them in our venture philanthropy model. He has also presided over more than $300,000 of investment in the local nonprofit community and helped catalyze contributions of additional money, time and expertise to SVPP’s Investee organizations.

Mark was also recently invited to join the Board of Directors of Grantmakers of Oregon and SW Washington, a foundation membership organization. He also serves as Treasurer of Third Rail Repertory Theatre and as a SMART reader at Sabin Elementary in Northeast Portland.
