NYC Venture Philanthropy Fund currently has two key committees. Each facilitates the activity of one of the key prongs of VPF (money, skills or access to networks) and is fundamental to the progress and success of our work.

Grants
The Grants Committee drives the entire grantmaking-investment process for VPF making it the vital heart of the entire organization. The team is responsible for managing the overall process including 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 manage VPF’s pro bono commitments. They act as the key liaison between our grantees, the assigned VPF volunteer team and the VPF Guidance Board managing the project timeline and deliverables. For more information, please contact: projectmanagement@nycvpf.org

Public Relations
The Public Relations Committee is a dynamic team of multi-talented volunteers that manage VPF’s exposure to the greater public including brand identity, marketing strategy, ongoing social events and member/partner relations. Ultimately, this committee is the voice of the organization providing innovative solutions to our outreach and management needs with a blend of technology, social networking and communication savvy. For more information, please contact: events@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, Concrete Safaris.
