ABOUT
 
We work hand-in-hand with nonprofit leaders to help them strengthen their organizations, increasing their ability to serve the community; and, through this direct engagement, and educational and community-building events, we better our own philanthropy and create an engaged (or venture) philanthropy network that transforms our community…and ourselves.
Read about Our Guiding Principles.

Each SVP Partner makes an annual contribution of $5,500. We pool these funds and invest them in nonprofits we select each year. But the core of our philanthropy is engagement. We give of ourselves -- our time, our expertise, and our contacts -- to help our Investees achieve growth goals that they often thought were impossible. Through this direct involvement, we, too, are strengthened as philanthropists and more personally connected to one another and to the larger Boston community.

Read about The SVP Model.

Since 2002, we have invested nearly $1 million in Boston and surrounding communities. Including our funding, the value of our Partners’ time, and additional benefits to our Investees, we estimate the total philanthropic impact to the community has been more than three times the financial investment. That's impact. That's engaged philanthropy.
