NVCA Today

As another election cycle comes to a close, NVCA would like to thank our members for their support of our political action committee. As we have done for many years, VenturePAC contributed to key races in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Our PAC contributions were given to incumbents and challengers who support policies that favor our innovation agenda and tax policies that recognize the value of entrepreneurship and risk taking.

During the 2007-2008 cycle, NVCA raised and contributed over $1 million. Despite the relative small size of the venture industry, our PAC is one of the more well-funded trade association PACs in Washington. Our long history of supporting candidates from both political parties has served us well over the years and we expect that it will serve us well in 2009. We have broad and deep relationships with a diverse membership of Representatives and Senators, including groups like the New Democrat Coalition and Blue Dog Coalition that will be major players in the new Congress. 

Our Annual VenturePAC fundraising cycle is underway and will continue through December 15^th. NVCA encourages our members to contribute to this important advocacy tool and make the voice of your profession heard to lawmakers who are making critical policy decisions that impact our industry. Contribution forms were mailed out to members in September. If you need additional forms or have questions, please contact Molly Myers at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
