About our group
ogether, we’re investing in better futures for vulnerable children and youth in Greater Washington.
Our story began with two big questions. It was the late 1990s, a period of unprecedented wealth creation coupled with rising inequality. Three successful Washington, DC, businessmen began to wonder how big investments could produce a different kind of return: a better future for kids in Greater Washington. Instead of seeking profits, they sought answers.
- What would it take to change the status quo for vulnerable children and youth in the Region?
- Could the business world provide a different, innovative approach to social change?
With extensive backgrounds in technology, government, business innovation, and venture capital, Mario Morino, Raul Fernandez, and Mark Warner brought a wide range of expertise to their search. In those early conversations, the trio began reimagining philanthropy in the 21st century.
The result was Venture Philanthropy Partners.
