    We are constantly surveying Greater Washington for leaders we can partner with.

    We go out into the field to discover the people who are making a difference in the lives of young people, and we go through a rigorous process to evaluate opportunities. That’s why we don’t accept unsolicited applications.

      VPP + Raise DC
      is now Youth
      Invest Partners

      In June of 2000, Venture Philanthropy Partners opened it doors,
      spurred by the efforts of three founders who asked themselves,

      “Could the business world provide a different, innovative
      approach to social change?”

      In the years that followed, VPP quickly became a strategic hub for high-impact
      investments through deep and sustained partnerships with foundations, businesses,
      government agencies and school systems.

      In April of 2020, VPP formed a strategic alliance with Raise DC to build an investment
      organization capable of driving alignment among communities, and nonprofit, business
      and regional leaders around systems change. VPP+Raise DC committed to call out and
      confront policies, practices and systems that contribute to racial inequity.

      Today, we recognize the need to do more, be bolder, and act faster. Youth Invest Partners
      is a call to “dream big and do big” to drive change that will build better futures for
      Greater Washington youth today and in the days, months and years to come. Our new
      name and brand reflects energy and focus as we collaborate, innovate and transform.
