The New Venture Fund works with change leaders who share our purpose of creating positive impact in our communities, our country, and our world.
We were founded in 2006 in response to demand from leading philanthropists for an efficient, cost-effective, and time-saving platform to launch and operate public interest projects.
Our team of creative problem-solvers provides strategic advice and operational support to a range of donor-supported projects in conservation, education, youth development, global health, public policy, global development, disaster recovery, and the arts.
More than half of the 50 largest US grant-making foundations have funded projects hosted at the New Venture Fund, including eight of the top 10.
We are a 501(c)(3) public charity overseen by an independent board of directors with extensive experience in philanthropy and nonprofit management. To increase efficiency and effectiveness, NVF contracts with a newly launched company called Sunflower Services to receive back-office support.
Sunflower Services is an independent, nonprofit-owned Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to providing operational excellence to nonprofit and social impact organizations. NVF is among the nonprofit owners of Sunflower. With a team of 240 professionals, Sunflower delivers integrated solutions in finance, HR, grants management and compliance, helping mission-driven organizations focus on what matters most: their impact.
