Northwest Venture Philanthropy – Shifting The Funding Paradigm - Washington State

"As Northwest Venture Philanthropy, the father/daughter duo has attracted financial resources and also notable political and business leaders to their board of directors.  “We are looking for individuals that want to help guide the strategic direction of our initiative to reduce adverse childhood experiences in Thurston County,” says Davis.

“Ultimately, we want to see adverse childhood experiences reduced by 10% in the next ten years,” comments Davis when asked about the organization’s goals.  “We want every child to grow up in a safe environment.  The data tells us that when kids are safe, they are healthier, more productive members of society and have less chance of abusing their own children.”
