Description:  The Silicon Valley Social Venture Fund (SV2) is a non-profit community of more than 200 individuals and families who have come together to learn about effective giving and pool resources to support innovative social ventures.

Why We Invest: SV2 provides a local community of like minded individuals who continue learning with an emphasis on learning by doing. Partners decide where best to grant or invest pooled funds through organized grant rounds and impact investing meetings. Hands on learning is more likely to transfer over to grants and impact investing to partners’ work beyond SV2. Putting the resources of Silicon Valley to more effective use in solving major local and global issues has the potential for great impact.
