Christine Margiotta, Executive Director of Social Venture Partners Los Angeles (SVPLA), has dedicated her career to harnessing the collective power of Angelenos to create unprecedented large-scale social change.

Christine brings over 15 years of experience working on a wide range of issues including homelessness, education, economic justice, racial equity, and LGBTQ rights.  She leverages a blend of collective impact, grantmaking, policy, and community engagement to ensure a more thriving and just Los Angeles.

Prior to joining SVPLA, she was the Vice President of Community Impact at United Way of Greater Los Angeles, where she led the strategic implementation of their mission to create pathways out of poverty. Most notably, she designed, launched, and directed Home For Good, the region’s initiative to end homelessness. Home For Good cultivated the collaboration of over 200 cross-sector leaders, leveraged over $1 billion in resources to house over 30,000 of the most vulnerable Angelenos, and helped create a 59% reduction in veteran homelessness in 5 years.

She is a graduate of Scripps College and received her MSW from UCLA in 2003. She lives in Culver City with her wife, Becky, and their two children, Huck and Vivian, and she serves on the Board of SVPLA Fast Pitch winner Swipe Out Hunger.
