ICV has been an active corporate citizen since we raised our first fund in 2000.  We’re committed to supporting a range of causes, many relating to education and community building.  To date, we’ve contributed over $1.3 million to various causes.  ICV principals have also taken active roles in many organizations as founders and board members to help shape and direct organizational goals.  Our partners want to leverage our success to positively impact the community.
