WHAT-WE-DO
 
We seek to create significant, long-term social change in Los Angeles by achieving a dual mission:
Expanding the Capacity of Innovative Nonprofits by investing our time, expertise, and money to collaboratively strengthen these organizations
Expanding Philanthropy by educating individuals to be well informed, effective and engaged philanthropists

NONPROFIT CAPACITY BUILDING

At LASVP, we value innovation and the power of entrepreneurial spirit. Nonprofits with new and better solutions to L.A.’s problems are often young and imperfect organizations themselves. We understand this, and are willing to support the growth and development of these kinds of organizations. We work with them to build long-term capacity, rather than short-term projects or programs.

Our capacity-building investment model includes multi-year cash grants and customized consulting teams who work with the nonprofits to help them achieve their goals. LASVP Partners on the consulting teams provide support in areas including marketing, finance, technology, strategic planning, and human resources management. We set specific goals and track progress, knowing that we can all learn from our experiences and continuously improve the way we do our work and the results that we produce for the community. This “venture philanthropy” model is key to helping our investees achieve results that are not merely measurable…they are remarkable.

EXPANDING PHILANTHROPY

The other half of the SVP mission is to expand the community of philanthropists and deepen their commitment to addressing the needs of Los Angeles. Through engagement with Investees, collaboration with other SVP Partners, and participation in educational events, Partners become more informed, committed philanthropists, often expanding their personal philanthropic contributions and activities to new levels.
