All donations made to PVF through Benevity's platform must include a Project or a fund designation in the comment section and/or donor information in order for PVF to accept the funds. Philanthropic Ventures Foundation (PVF) is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to supporting outstanding charitable work, customizing giving programs for donors, initiating new dimensions in grantmaking and acting as the depository for charitable projects
About This Cause
We began PVF to do something different — to bring joy, simplicity, trust and effectiveness to grantmaking. We knew the answer was not more — more paper, more procedures, more obstacles, more time. We believed that if giving grants involved fewer, simpler processes, every dollar would work harder and do more. This is why we fund people, not paper. At PVF, we like to test new ideas for grantmaking. We try out theories, keep those that work, discard those that don’t, and share those experiences from our living lab at conferences and with foundations around the country. We are actively creating the future of philanthropy by taking risks and trying out new grantmaking approaches. Much of our giving is grassroots, where we feel we can create the most change. We have more than 25 years of expertise that we leverage to find and fund the most outstanding local leaders as well as immediately respond to the needs of our communities. At the grassroots level, we are able to fund based on trust and the relationships we forge. The inequality gap is widening in the Bay Area. We are starting to see a tale of two cities unfolding before our eyes, as the gulf widens between the haves and the have-nots. We believe that connecting the dots to find exceptional entrepreneurial leaders and acting in a streamlined, unrivaled, immediate response is the PVF way to make a dent in the inequality gap.
