The NYC Venture Philanthropy Fund (VPF) was founded on a simple idea: the collective power of individual effort.
VPF is a giving circle of individuals who invest in social entrepreneurs focused on tackling persistent social and economic problems in New York City.
Small money, big change.
We seek to harness the vitality, ingenuity and incomparable resources of New York City for the benefit of all of its residents by raising awareness of critical issues, growing and educating a highly diverse membership about the power of collective giving, and by joining forces with thought leaders, activists and like-minded organizations.
