2026 Consulting Grant Round
Now Open

Is your nonprofit ready to help more people achieve economic mobility?

SVP Boston is now accepting letters of intent for our 2026 Consulting Grant round.

​

​

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

  • Fundraising strategy

  • Board governance

  • Communications

  • 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.
