In honor of NVCA’s 50th anniversary and leadership gala, Venture Forward is asking 50 VC investors or firms to donate $500, $5,000, or $50,000 to support our mission to build a stronger, more diverse, equitable, and inclusive future for VC.  

Donors in the “50 for 50” campaign will receive special recognition at the gala. 

With your financial support in 2023, Venture Forward can: 

  • Educate 900 industry newcomers through VC University.
     
  • Connect 50 underrepresented emerging managers to LPs through LP Office Hours. 

  • Prep for the fifth edition of the VC Human Capital Survey to collect and report on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) data in the VC industry. 

  • Fund new programs that help new investors break into VC, current investors advance, and VC firms implement meaningful DEI practices.
