About this organization
Mission
Silicon Valley Social Venture Fund's (SV2's) mission is to unleash the resources and talents of the Silicon Valley community to achieve meaningful social impact. SV2 works to build the organizational capacity of our nonprofit Grantees and Impact Investees and the philanthropic capacity of our donors (called "Partners"). SV2 does this through engaged grantmaking and impact investing in a number of issue areas with funds contributed by our donor-partners.
About
EXPERIENTIAL GRANTMAKING & IMPACT INVESTING - SV2 conducts grant rounds in which SV2 Partners (donors) gain experiential education about specific social or environmental issue areas and strategic philanthropy. SV2 Partners pool their charitable contributions and then work together to identify and select high-potential Grantees and Impact Investees from among local nonprofits and social ventures. Grantees receive cash grants to support infrastructure and organizational capacity-building in order to scale their ability to achieve their missions and improve peoples lives.In 2018-19, SV2 made two multi-year, general operating support grants in the areas of early childhood health and entrepreneurship, and two one-year, general operating support grants in the areas of health/basic needs and performing arts. SV2 also conducted its fourth Impact Investment Round, in which Partners performed due diligence and selected two mission-driven social ventures and two mission-driven equity funds in which to make investments. The SV2 Teens Program, in which teenage children of SV2 Partners go through their own grant round and learn about local issues and the nonprofits addressing them, awarded three grants to nonprofits focused on the environment.Data suggests that, as a result of the experiential grantmaking program and other learning SV2 provides, 91% of Partners increased their level of knowledge about local community needs and solutions, 84% of Partners have increased confidence in practicing effective giving, and 81% become more effective social impact leaders.
