What Awardees Receive

Selected nonprofits will be matched with a dedicated SVPB Engagement Team—a group of experienced, high-impact consultants who will partner with your organization for 12 months.

This pro bono engagement, valued at $250,000, provides deep capacity-building support in areas such as:

Strategic planning
Financial strategy
Fundraising strategy
Board governance
Organizational development

By the end of the engagement, your organization will be stronger, more sustainable, and poised for significant growth in service to your community.

Financial Grant Eligibility

In addition to consulting, grantees become eligible for financial grants of no less than $5,000. These grants will be distributed subject to need, engagement progress, and SVPB’s Investment Committee review.
