SV2 Partners will go deeper in their learning about the five finalist organizations by discussing the coffee chats and financial review.
In Meeting #3 in person at SV2, Partners will go deeper in their learning about the five finalist organizations by discussing the results of the coffee chats and the financial review. The coffee chats are relational, structured, and tend to be very energizing conversations! The coffee chats replace written grant applications, which can often be very burdensome for busy nonprofit leaders to complete, and can detract from their organization’s key work.
This meeting will be in person at SV2. Lunch will be provided.
Location
Silicon Valley Social Venture Fund (SV2) | 350 Twin Dolphin Drive Suite 103, Redwood City, CA 94065. We are in the Sobrato Center for Nonprofits. There is free parking in front of the building. We are on the first floor and the building is ramp accessible. When you enter the building, you’ll see our office straight down the hallway, our doors will be open and we’ll be ready to greet you!
About the Grant Round
Community Organizing is a powerful and proven practice for a committed group to advocate for positive change for themselves, their families, and their community. By lifting voices and developing leadership, communities take ownership of their lives and future. In community organizing, unity and collective action advance positive change.
In this context, SV2’s Community Organizing Grant Round will allocate $180,000 of unrestricted, three-year funding across two organizations ($90,000 each), to be selected in December 2024. SV2 will also offer the selected organizations beyond-the-dollars support, as helpful, and friendship! Throughout our process, SV2 will practices equity and trust-based philanthropy in our grantmaking and relationship building.
