NYC Venture Philanthropy Fund currently has two key committees. Each facilitates the activity of one of the key prongs of VPF (cash and capacity) and is fundamental to the progress and success of our work, helping enhance New York City’s social entrepreneurs.

Grants
The Grants Committee drives the entire grantmaking-investment process for VPF. This team is critical for properly matching up VPF’s investment of small money to make the big change. They are responsible for seeking out, reviewing and evaluating potential grantees and ultimately creating a portfolio of social entrepreneur candidates to be placed on the member ballot each year. For more information, please contact: grants@nycvpf.org

Project Management
The Project Management Committee members volunteer their skills to fulfill VPF’s pro bono commitments to our grantee-partner. This capacity building is essential to maximize VPF’s investment and turn the small money in to big change. They act as the key liaison between our grantees, the assigned VPF volunteer team and the VPF Board manage the project timeline and deliverables. For more information, please contact: projectmanagement@nycvpf.org

In addition to these committees, VPF also encourages volunteerism via short-term, targeted projects that further our mission and goals. These projects may be within VPF itself or with our current investee.
