Social Venture Partners (SVP) is a multi-generational community of professionals engaged in venture philanthropy. Our current goal is to ensure that all children in metro Portland are ready for kindergarten. We make strategic investments of human, financial, and social capital in nonprofit organizations and system innovation initiatives that prepare children to enter kindergarten with the foundation for learning and life success. We are focused on kids in our community who are called ???at risk??? but who are really full of promise.
