It is easy to lose touch with the reasons we give. To miss the connection between a donation and a fresh start for a family. To overlook the relationship between a finite number of volunteer hours and the long-term effectiveness of an organization. Or to forget how important it is to forge active partnerships between philanthropists and the people on the ground who make change possible.
These are the connections that form our community.
A community dedicated to improving the lives of children and protecting our environment. A community of which Social Venture Partners Seattle (SVP) is honored to be a part.
We hope the stories shared in this report will remind us that when we pool our resources, we can increase our impact. When we leverage our donations with investments of time and professional skills, we can strengthen organizations. And when we connect with those who share our passion, we can grow in unexpected ways.
