Giving Back During COVID-19

16/04/2020

COVID-19 is having a profound effect on all of us and our communities. With the difficulties faced by millions, IVP is supporting others in need.

IVP Team donates over $1 million to fight COVID-19 To assist those in need around us, especially in the local Bay Area community, the IVP team is making collective personal donations to five local non-profits totaling over $1 million to support those affected by COVID-19.

Here are the five organizations we supported:

Glide Memorial - Mission is to break the cycle of poverty and marginalization. Based in San Francisco.

Meals of Gratitude - Provides meals for frontline healthcare providers and support staff in the Bay Area.

Second Harvest - Silicon Valley organization founded to ensure that everyone who needs a healthy meal can get one.

SF-Marin Food Bank - Trying to end hunger in San Francisco and Marin.

Tipping Point - Non-profit working to break the cycle of poverty for the 1.7 million people who don't have resources to meet basic needs in the Bay Area.

IVP portfolio companies donate product and funds
