Our Mission

Our mission is to unleash the resources and talents of the Bay Area community to achieve meaningful social impact.

THE Opportunity

Through our work, SV2 has a unique opportunity to empower our Donor, Grantee, and Investee Partners. SV2 defines success in two ways: our Donor Partners become more equitable, effective, and generous givers as a result of our work, and our Grantee and Investee Partners become more able to grow their impact as a result of our unrestricted funding and capacity-building Beyond-the-Dollars support.

OUR VISION

We envision a more equitable and sustainable Bay Area and world where everyone thrives.

Our Core Values

Our core values anchor our community and how we approach all of our work together.
