Cleveland Social Venture Partners
Combining the power of business with the passion of philanthropy.
Cleveland Social Venture Partners (CSVP) is a philanthropic venture fund that supports nonprofit organizations in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Using the venture capital approach, our partners “invest” their pooled funds in selected nonprofits and at the same time actively nurture their financial contributions by offering their time and professional expertise. Our objective is to help develop the organizational capacity and sustainability of each nonprofit we support, so they can serve our community more effectively and efficiently.
