VPP – Venture Philanthropy Partners – is a terrific organization chartered with venture capitalizing local charities as if they were start-up businesses.
Two of my partners in our sports teams, Raul Fernandez and Jack Davies, have been the driving forces behind it along with Senator Mark Warner and the “Godfather” Mario Marino.
I am an investor in VPP and a cheerleader but Raul and Jack should get the acclaim. It is their baby. This is a very important effort being led many local business and philanthropy leaders. Check them out.
Hello Mr. Leonsis:
We met briefly at the NCC in Lansdowne two weeks ago. You spoke at the Leadership breakfast. I aksed the question regarding maintaining focus and a higher calling while swimming in the tank with the sharks. As en Exce Dir. of non-profit locally are there opportunities to apply and become a part of the VPP network?
Thanks for All You Do…Nick Savage
