"I truly enjoy all the learning aspects of SV2."

As a Donor Partner, your financial contribution to SV2 has leveraged impact in two ways:
It allows SV2 to invest pooled funding directly in Bay Area nonprofits and early-stage socially driven companies.
It supports robust Donor education and engagement programming that equips Donor Partners with best practices and helps them give more generously and effectively.
Please join the SV2 Donor Partner community with a financial contribution at a level that is personally meaningful to you.
While each SV2 Partner’s experience is unique, here are some of the ways you can engage as a Donor Partner in our community:
Grantmaking: Dive into learning about Bay Area-based nonprofits working in a variety of fields, and roll up your sleeves as you join your peers in practicing diligence and making funding decisions. Learn more.
