Is Toledo Community Venture Partners right for you?

Do you want to get involved in your community but are not sure where to start?
Do you want to learn more about the problems and solutions of the Toledo area?
Do you have hard earned skills and experience in the business world you know would be useful to causes you are interested in?
Do you like working in teams and helping organizations solve difficult problems?
Do you like to give money to nonprofits in your community but are not sure which nonprofit to donate to or if the money is used wisely or that it is really making a difference?
Do you want to learn more about philanthropy in general? What works, what doesn't, what other people are doing and why?

Partners will be involved with TCVP in a number of ways:

• Select the nonprofits that we invest in each year
• Working on Volunteer Teams on a specific project for a specific nonprofit
• Assist with the management of TCVP, or
• Choose to make only a financial contribution until you have more available time.

Each partner makes a minimum two-year commitment of at least $500 annually, in either stock or cash. This donation can be paid in quarterly or semi-annual installments and is per household so spouses or children are eligible for participation in TCVP. Your contribution is tax-deductible.

“Aside from giving me a forum in which to invest my time and money, Toledo CVP gave me the opportunity to further my personal and professional development. The contacts I’ve made and the lessons I’ve learned are invaluable, and I am better equipped to be a leader now than ever before.”  - Josh Schuyler, Member, 2006-2008

"I personally have not had the chance to participate on many Boards and this opened my eyes to the many not-for-profits in and around Toledo and the opportunities to assist them.  The opportunity to work with the group of professionals in TCVP only made things even more enjoyable."   - Jeremy Zeisloft, Member, 2006-2008
