About Us
BIGS VENTURE PHILANTHROPY
WHAT WE ARE
UNITY THROUGH GENEROSITY
BIGS Venture Philanthropy is an organization dedicated to dedicated to nurturing and further developing a community of generosity. This is where our name comes from. BIGS stands for the Bulldog Initiative for a Generous Society. We achieve this by providing both human and monetary capital to people looking to make a difference.
​
The size and scale of BIGS affords us the opportunity to create negotiation leverage with suppliers and vendors, which will help lower the costs
associated with fundraising. BIGS will help set standards for financial effectiveness, transparency and accountability in fundraising and financial sustainability of affiliated organizations. BIGS can also create promotional and communication campaigns to elevate awareness and increase the number of participants in philanthropic causes.

OUR
HISTORY
BIGS was founded in the fall of 2018 by a group of highly motivated students who relentlessly pursue the idea of a community where those who desire to make a difference can do so. We have made tremendous strides towards achieving this goal since then. With the generous use of our donors BIGS has been able to maximize their ability to make a difference in the lives of many.
We have had many successful events such as a Goalball Tournament benefitting the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and Dinner in the Dark: an emersion dinner to create awareness and help BOSMA Industries. These events, along with many others have all seen an increase in money raised reaching three times as much as the initial investment or more.
