The IVCA Foundation is focused on:

  • IVCA Scholar Program participants

    Expanding Access Through Signature Programs
    We introduce high-potential undergraduate students to private equity and venture capital through immersive experiences like the IVCA Scholars Program. This initiative builds early exposure, industry networks, and career pathways for underrepresented talent.

  • Two people driving a golf cart

    Elevating Visibility and Leadership
    We champion emerging leaders and amplify diverse voices through networking and alumni development. Our goal is to help build a pipeline of talent who reflect the full potential of Illinois’s innovation economy.

  • Three people at a golf course

    Fostering Inclusive Workplaces
    We support firms in building inclusive cultures through practical resources and collaborative initiatives that promote diversity and belonging.

All proceeds benefit the IVCA Foundation.
