Partner with Us!
Our partners come from varied professional and personal backgrounds and share a passion for sparking lasting social change in Boston. By combining professional expertise with financial support, our partners are able to have outsized impact on some of Greater Boston's most promising nonprofits.
​Partner roles are flexible. Some partners simply use SVP as a way to make a highly leveraged gift, others take advantage of our education sessions and peer learning opportunities, and some roll up their sleeves and dig into volunteer projects that benefit our grantees long-term by addressing the critical needs of the grantee. Engagement projects typically last 12 months, with a partner time commitment of about 10 hours a month.
Our engagement team work provides great networking and upskilling opportunities to individuals, all while giving back in an impactful way.
​
Partners pay an annual membership dues that supports the programming and operations of SVP Boston and build a pool of funds that are awarded to the local nonprofits SVP Boston supports. These contributions are stretched further by those who volunteer their time and skills to strengthen our grantees, SVP Boston, and the social sector at large.

Meet Our Partners
Our partners are volunteers and investors. They are learners and doers, eager to roll up their sleeves to support a given project, to participate in workshops and attend lectures aimed at educating our network about the issues our grantees grapple with every day, and to work to gain practical skills to support emerging nonprofits within, and beyond, the SVP portfolio.
