The Many Faces of Giving with SV2
Silicon Valley was built by entrepreneurs and innovators knownfor turning ideas into results. SV2 draws on that tradition. Partners – who include singles and couples age 20-something to 60-plus – contribute their financial, intellectual and human capital to help nonprofits grow and thrive. In return, Partners learn from each other and through their hands-on experience working with nonprofits to tackle social issues and resource constraints.

Jamie Wang “The whole idea of having a community of philanthropists was so appealing....We all wanted to learn how to do philanthropy well." |

Craig & Gina Jorasch “SV2 appeals to all our instincts and puts them to work in the philanthropic world.” |

Charlene & Derry Kabcenell “We were thrilled to find that working with other Partners was a really great benefit.” |

Lisa Sobrato Sonsini “I can make a grant to a non-profit myself. But if I’m inspiring other people to contribute, I am able to expand the field of givers.” |
I joined SV2 because I was interested in getting involved in the local community and learning more about social enterprises, specifically 'investing' in them and helping them grow. I also like the chance SV2 gives me to leverage my work skill-set for others’ benefit.

SV2 Partner
