GEO member Venture Philanthropy Partners was featured on NPR's All Things Considered radio broadcast. The segment  told the story of Jasmine, a young adult who benefitted from the work of multiple nonprofits engaged with Venture Philanthropy Partners' youthCONNECT network, a collaborative effort of six nonprofits dedicated to working with at-risk youth in the D.C. area. Venture Philanthropy Partners set up youthCONNECT using $6 million from the Social Innovation Fund, and more than $7 million in matching funds provided by corporate and private donors.

Following our Strategic Co-funding Convening in February 2013, we have seen a great deal of interest among GEO members in continuing to learn with and from others doing this work. As a result, we’ve developed a new, cohort-based, peer learning program that will commence in early-June 2013. Registration for this series is now closed.
