What is SV2?
SV2 (Silicon Valley Social Venture Fund) is a partnership for giving. Our donors pool annual contributions of $5,000 each to make a bigger, more meaningful impact than any of us could make on our own. We work together to decide which cutting-edge nonprofits will receive our pooled funds and our professional advising. Founded by Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen in 1998, SV2 offers donors a diverse menu of events and opportunities to engage with one another, our grantees, and the community.
