What should a grantee (investment partner) expect from a partnership with VPP?
When we enter into investment partnerships with community-based organizations, we aspire to serve as a combination of strategic advisor, executive coach, change agent, funder, board member, and consultant—with the goal of helping great leaders build stronger, more effective, more enduring organizations to better serve children. Our investments are not intended to fund program costs. Instead, the focus of every VPP investment is helping leaders build the strength of the organization behind their programs. We support this strengthening of organizations through large-scale, multi-year funding; through the expertise of our in-house investment team; and through the leverage of a wide network of outside contacts, resources, and professional advisors.
