Strengthen Nonprofits

Kids Playing by Yoram BernetThe organizations SVP Seattle partners with are tackling some of our society’s most entrenched problems – and they are ready to take their work to the next level. 


They’ve recognized ways that their organizations could be stronger, and are working with SVP to make that happen.  In any given year, SVP is engaged with 15-20 King County nonprofits, providing two kinds of support.
