Social Venture Partners announces two grant opportunities for nonprofits through one application


The deadline is approaching for Greater Cincinnati nonprofits to apply for two grant opportunities through a single application to Social Venture Partners Cincinnati (SVP) is inviting Greater Cincinnati.

The focus area for both grants is innovation.

Nonprofits can apply to be a SVP Investee, with investees receiving a total grant of up to $60,000 over the course of three years. Investees also receive the strategic contribution of SVP partners’ time and expertise so that the average benefit to the nonprofit is three to five times greater than the cash grants.
 

Nonprofits can also apply for SVP’s Fast Pitch 2018. Using a technique borrowed from the venture capital and startup communities, Fast Pitch is a way to showcase and accelerate nonprofits making a difference in the community.

Nonprofits get training in telling effective, inspiring stories and then compete via a three-minute pitch. 

The combined application is available at www.socialventurepartners.org/cincinnati/ and due on July 31.

SVP brings together a unique combination of investor dollars and donated skills and talent to help support its investee organizations through the Investee program and Fast Pitch. Since its inception in 2007, SVP Cincinnati has invested more than $1,500,000 in grants and in-kind support to local nonprofits.

Social Venture Partners is part of an international network of 3,500 partners who collectively invest time, talent and grant money in innovative ways to strengthen local nonprofits. SVP’s purpose is to enable its investees to make the Greater Cincinnati region a stronger and more vibrant community.
