What Awardees Receive
Four 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 (with the option to extend up to 24 months).
This pro bono engagement, valued at $250,000, provides deep capacity-building support in areas such as:
-
Strategic planning

Financial 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.
