It starts with one person. One person joins many people. Together they will help build communities able to solve our most entrenched problems.
That's SVP. A global network of local partners aligning passion and purpose.
Helping individuals realize greater impact with their giving, strengthening nonprofits, and enriching the social sector – we make connections that make a difference. Connections that unleash potential.

Localizing the World Economic Forum
The theme for this year's World Economic Forum is The Great Transformation: Shaping New Models. My position is that we need to focus more on harnessing social and human capital (not just financial capital). What do you think? Given the challenges confronting us in 2012 and beyond, what does the social sector have to do to think -- and be thought of -- differently? How can we rapidly change the "equation for social good"?
SVP Announces a Third Grant Cycle for 2012
Great news! SVP’s partnership grew by nearly 100 Partners 2011, providing the resources to give an additional grant. SVP’s third grant this year will focus on youth development. If your organization provides out of school time programing and support for kids ages 5-18, and you’re ready to take that work to the next level – we’d love to hear from you!
Giving for Perspective
I’ll start off by saying something you don’t often hear from an SVP Partner: I’m not inclined to give financially. I struggle with a mindset of scarcity, especially when it comes to financial resources. I grew up relying partially on social security from my dad’s early death, and since then I’ve carried this sense that financial disaster could be right around the corner.
