The Artist + Moneyball = SVP?!
It’s fair to say a few of us here in the office enjoy the movies, sharing perspectives and recommendations once in awhile. After the Academy Awards last Sunday, we couldn't help but find some great - if surprising - parallels between SVP's work, and the storyline of two Oscar-worthy flicks.
Get Out!
I don’t know about you, but after Seattle’s Snowmaggedon closed schools and offices for days, I was itching to JUST GET OUT. So, hopping the shoe leather express, I made the trek to my local grocer to get some fresh air, refresh our food supply and interact with beings other than my husband and cat. (No offense, honey.) What I discovered was something that also applies to grantmaking...
Lynn's Wish List
As I look ahead to 2012 here are few wishes and hopes I hold for our community (and myself). First, that we each bring more empathy into our lives – in our day-to-day interactions with spouses, children and families, co-workers and clients, and in our neighborhoods and communities.
The Buzz on SVP Staff – From Net Impact to Leadership Tomorrow
SVP staff are racking up accolades! Lynn Coriano was selected as a PLACES Fellow, Mike Quinn was accepted into Leadership Tomorrow’s class of 2012, and Paul Shoemaker was interviewed in the Seattle Times and is a featured panelist at this fall’s Net Impact Conference. Congrats all around!
Are We Buying or Building Organizations?
As a liberal arts major and then a graduate student in nonprofit management, I was never particularly drawn to topics in finance and capital. Imagine my surprise when, after attending the Money Matters conference in New York, I came back eager to talk with Paul about all things finance and the implications for SVP’s work. The topic on my mind: Is SVP buying or building the organizations we fund and support?
