Like all good venture philanthropists, Social Venture Partners Portland leverages the resources and networks within our reach–and sometimes reaches just beyond! We are part of a community of next-generation nonprofit organizations in the Portland area and around the world who seek to do informed, engaged giving and use the best of our community for those most in need. Explore some of the organizations we work with here.
Broad Superintendents Academy – The Broad Superintendents Academy recruits, trains and places proven leaders with the passion and experience necessary to transform urban school districts into effective public enterprises. By bringing the best practices in hiring, operations and management into school districts, these leaders are freeing up millions of dollars that can be pushed down to the classroom to serve students. Run like an executive management training program, the Academy is designed to prepare CEOs and senior executives from business, non-profit, military, government and education backgrounds to lead urban public school systems. The Broad Center then assists graduates in finding leadership positions in our nation’s largest, most troubled schools and provides extensive professional support to ensure they succeed.
