Strategic Venture Fund

NNSP offers funding to sector initiatives for the purpose of creating projects that will advance and strengthen the field. Grantees develop projects that result in lessons that can be shared with and applied to the larger sector field, to specific industries, or to organizations involved in similar work. In the process, they also create products that can be used by other NNSP members and the sector field in general.

NNSP is pleased to announce the 2008 Strategic Venture Fund grantees:

• Arizona Direct Care Worker Association
• City of Chicago Mayor's Office of Workforce Development / Chicago Workforce Board
• El Barrio - West Side Ecumenical Ministry
• Instituto del Progreso Latino
• Keystone Research Center
• Lancaster County Workforce Investment Board
• MDC, Inc.
• Seattle Jobs Initiative

Each of the organizations listed above is doing innovative work of importance to the sector field. Through their projects, grantees will develop products for use by other sector initiatives. NNSP will disseminate the results of their work next spring.
