Founding Investors
In 2000, VPP’s Founding Investors, a community of extraordinary individuals and families came together to invest in a bold vision to alter the status quo for children in need of opportunity, and at the same time, create a different, innovative approach to philanthropy. These Founding Investors helped create VPP, provided strategic guidance, and committed in excess of $30 million to capitalize VPP's first fund.
In addition, VPP received funding from Institutional Investors, philanthropic organizations that contributed capital to VPP to advance its mission and help fund VPP investments; Co-Investors, who joined with us in formal or informal partnerships to provide capital and often non-financial support to community-based organizations we select for investment; and the Morino Institute, VPP's Operations Funder, which provided capital to cover the formation and building of the organization and all the operational costs from its inception through Q1 2003. After this time, operations were funded largely from returns on VPP's invested capital.
