2008 Grant Cycle
Pittsburgh Social Venture Partners will launch it’s 2008 Grant Cycle on April 30, 2008. We invite all interested agencies to review the following grant guidelines and criteria and submit a letter of inquiry by May 23, 2008 at 5:00 PM. To learn more, we invite you to attend our Community Launch Information Session on April 30, 2008 at 100 Technology Drive.
PSVP’s grantmaking focuses on providing support to nonprofit organizations serving at-risk youth in Allegheny county. We do this through monetary grants of up to $15,000 in addition to hands-on strategic assistance in the areas of financial sustainability and improved capacity. Similar to Venture Capital investors, PSVP Partners invest in the management team of an organization and the future potential we see in that organization. Through a collaborative effort, PSVP partners can provide assistance in:
- Strategic Planning
- Marketing/Communications
- Information Management
- Executive Coaching
- Technology Infrastructure
- Project Management
- Board Development
To determine if your organization meets our full criteria for investment based on the 2007 guidelines, download the Complete 2008 Grant Cycle Guidelines. This package includes required forms and evaluation criteria.
