Mission, Vision, Purpose

We envision a community where those most impacted by generations of systemic inequities thrive.

Mission (How): SVP Portland works to dismantle racist systems by building bridges between communities and elevating the voices of those most impacted by injustice. As venture philanthropists, we mobilize skills, money, and influence to collectively build community capacity for solving problems together.

Purpose (Why): We believe in demonstrating how philanthropy can evolve to be a leader in advancing social justice and racial equity.

Focused Goal (What): We have a goal to ensure that all children — regardless of race, ethnicity, wealth, religion, gender, or zip code — have high-quality, culturally-relevant early learning experiences.
