Mission and programs · 2023

• Experiential Grantmaking & Impact Investing:SV2 Partners pool their charitable contributions and then work together to identify and select high-potential Grantees and Impact Investees from among local nonprofits and early-stage companies with a social or environmental impact mission. Grantees and Investees receive unrestricted funding in order to scale their ability to achieve their missions and contribute to a Bay Area and world where everyone thrives. In 2023-24, SV2 made four multi-year, general operating support grants to Bay Area nonprofits. Two of these grants were to nonprofits focused on mental health and wellbeing, and two of these grants were to nonprofits focused on using technology for social good. SV2 also conducted its ninth year of impact investing, in which Partners performed due diligence and recommended six mission-driven companies in which SV2 made investments. Data suggests that, as a result of their engagement in SV2 programming, 96% of Partners increased their level of knowledge about local community needs and solutions, 82% of Partners felt an increase in ability to conduct effective due diligence on social impact organizations, and 78% of Partners experienced increased confidence in practicing effective giving.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
