Social Venture Partners (SVP) is a global network of local partners aligning passion and purpose. SVP helps individuals amplify their giving, funds and strengthens nonprofits and equips our communities to tackle our greatest social challenges – together. SVP International serves as a hub for information, guidance and connection. We provide tools, resources and counsel so that SVP network member organizations can focus on their purpose, passion and community impact and less on the processes associated with nonprofit management. We also work with people like you to help establish SVP in their communities. Our movement took off in 1997 because it offered a unique opportunity for people to come together and make a difference in their communities. The message flew from city to city and country to country: the SVP network is now 3000+ people strong, in 40+ cities around the world.
