Position Specification: Principal Background Based in Washington, DC, Venture Philanthropy Partners (VPP) is a philanthropic investment organization that builds strong nonprofits and strategic networks that measurably improve the lives of children and youth throughout Greater Washington. Over its eighteen years, Venture Philanthropy Partners has developed the background, capacity and credibility of bringing government, businesses and the nonprofit and philanthropic communities together to successfully advance cross-sector initiatives. Using our venture philanthropy model, we have raised and deployed more than $110 million in funding to support capacity building initiatives in high-performing organizations where funding is traditionally scarce.
