What Joint Venture Silicon Valley Network does
Mission
The mission of joint venture is to foster the health and vitality of silicon valley for all the people who live and work here. We pursue our mission by (1) providing data, research and analysis through our research arm, the institute for regional studies, and (2) convening the region's established and emerging leaders across business, government, academia, labor, and the broader community to take up the challenges spotlighted by the research.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Institute for regional studies: the silicon valley institute for regional studies is the research arm of joint venture silicon valley that provides research and analysis on the region. Research topics focus on economic and community health issues in silicon valley and the greater bay area, and on broader regional issues. The institute manages a variety of regional resources for the public benefit, provides a steady stream of research products to the community, and conducts work on a contract basis ranging from custom data requests to full research studies.
$898,957 spent51% of program spendingFood rescue initiative: joint venture's food recovery initiative supports organizations, businesses, and governments working to make the most of surplus food and to minimize the environmental impacts of food waste. Food recovery is a system whereby food banks and other organizations collect and redistribute surplus food from commercial sources (such as grocery stores, restaurants, and more) to those in need of food assistance safely, conveniently, and at low or no cost. Food recovery plays a unique role in the food supply chain, bridging the gap between the abundance of nutritious surplus food out of reach to so many, and those who need it most.
$508,502 spent29% of program spendingSveda: the silicon valley economic development alliance (sveda) is comprised of cities and counties focused on achieving individual and regional economic development goals while maximizing scarce resources. They are committed to addressing business needs, whether through local government policy and streamlined permitting processes, or linking businesses.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.5M to $2.2M (+50%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 43% · 2018 46% · 2019 39% · 2020 38% · 2021 36% · 2022 45% · 2023 48% · 2024 51% · 2025 51%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of JOINT VENTURE SILICON VALLEY NETWORK’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $35k → $285k.
3 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1.4M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Silicon Valley Community Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money JOINT VENTURE SILICON VALLEY NETWORK raised.

How concentrated its funding is
JOINT VENTURE SILICON VALLEY NETWORK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 28% of grant income and the top three 66%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
47% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund JOINT VENTURE SILICON VALLEY NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 71% · 2020 82% · 2021 75% · 2022 68% · 2023 79% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
25% of JOINT VENTURE SILICON VALLEY NETWORK's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 31% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
97% of JOINT VENTURE SILICON VALLEY NETWORK's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $40k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
