New Venture Fund is structured as an non-profit organization chartered in the United States of America. The charter By-Laws set up a Board of Directors for general governance and guidance. For daily operations, New Venture Fund has a director, senior managers, and staff to accomplish its mission.
The New Venture Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity, was established in response to demand from leading philanthropists for efficient, cost-effective and time-saving project-implementation and intermediary services. NVF offers unobtrusive support and facilitation – focusing on enhancing our donors' ability to execute their visions. Our open-architecture system offers donors a custom-built platform at a lower price than most other nonprofit intermediaries.
NVF executes a range of public interest projects, many of which focus on conservation and global health. We have also managed programs focused on voter registration, disaster recovery, education, and music and the arts.
NVF is overseen by an independent Board of Directors that has extensive experience in philanthropy and nonprofit management. Arabella Advisors is an affiliated organization, whose consultants provide staffing and management support through an administrative services agreement that is reviewed annually by the NVF Board of Directors. |
