Your Insights: SV2 Fall 2021 Economic Inclusion Grant Round

Hello!

Based on community insights and SV2 Partner interests, SV2's Fall 2021 Grant Round will be focused on Economic Inclusion: low income, underrepresented workers thriving in the Bay Area (e.g. workers’ rights and organizing, skill-building for COVID recovery, leadership development).

We greatly value your input in the design and format of this Grant Round. Please fill out this optional survey by Monday, Aug. 23rd or ping us for a chat - contact Amy, abadiani@sv2.org. 

Some guiding details for this Grant Round:
We strive to advance equity and trust based philanthropy throughout our learning and relationship building.
SV2 will allocate $150,000 of unrestricted, multi-year funding across two organizations ($75,000 each). SV2 will also offer the selected organizations beyond-the-dollars supports as helpful and friendship!

SV2 is best poised to support organizations / Community Partners who match the following criteria:
  • 501(c)(3) nonprofit or fiscally sponsored.
  • Has work and community reach in the Bay Area with executive leadership and Board presence in the Bay Area.
  • $500,000-$4 Million in revenue.
  • Organizations that are at “growth” stage in their lifecycle, they have a proven model and initial evidence of impact, and are still building their internal organizational capacity (e.g. learning and evaluation, strategy development, talent and human capital, operations and systems, finances and fund development). Typically, the organization is on the young side; if it has been in existence longer, it’s in some sort of “renewal” period.
  • Addressing root causes (i.e. creating conditions to reduce the prevalence of an issue). 
  • Has not previously received a three-year grant from SV2 (current Community Partners here, former Community Partners here).
SV2 is interested in deploying a greater share of grants to organizations led by underrepresented people of color.

We so much look forward to your thoughts!
If there are people / organizations in your network you think would be interested in providing insights, nominating themselves for consideration in our grant round, etc., please share this survey with them. To help us manage community expectations and our capacity thoughtfully and effectively, we ask that you DO NOT post this survey link generically and openly on various platforms like LinkedIn, mass email, newsletter, etc. 

Warmly,
