Retiring Our Investment in CCIP

(from the September 2009 Newsletter)

Earlier this year, SVPP completed our investment period with the Child Care Improvement Project, a program of Neighborhood House. A hallmark of venture philanthropy is learning and reporting on our investment successes, challenges and progress. We learned a great deal from this investment and felt strongly about supporting the mission of CCIP. Director Marilyn Goodman said of our investment, “We are extremely grateful for having the opportunity to be an investee of SVPP. We received services that if calculated on a monetary level would have been out of reach for us.”
