Mission Statement
Social Venture Partners seeks to develop philanthropy and volunteerism to achieve positive social change in the Puget Sound region. Using the venture capital approach as a model, SVP is committed to giving time, money and expertise to create partnerships with not-for-profit organizations.
Description
SVP is a dual mission organization. We seek to be both an "engaged grantmaker" as well as a catalyst for giving. Our grantmaking is focused on the following four areas: Early Childhood Development and Parenting programs. K-12 Education programs that help students to succeed in school and fully realize their academic potential. Out-of-School Time programs for youth ages 5-18 that promote quality time with caring adults, and programs that focus on safe places, constructive activities, and opportunities to contribute to the community. Environment programs that promote a healthy future for all life in the Puget Sound region by fostering environmental stewardship that is ecologically based and economically sound.
