Social Venture Partners is a network of engaged, active leaders who create change in the communities in which they live. As a facilitator of social innovation, SVP Dallas hosts five social innovation luncheons each year as well as Dallas’ longest-running event for social innovation – bigBANG! which is focused on driving deeper conversations and innovative solutions for positive change in our community. Since 1999, SVP Dallas’ Partners have used their collective talents, wealth, and resources to support and advance organizations that address issues impacting social structures. These social impact organizations, including county programs, nonprofits, and for-profit businesses, tackle issues such as immigrant services, educational support, juvenile diversion, and so much more. As one of the six original founding Social Venture Partners International chapters, SVP Dallas uses the vast talents of our partners to reach from Collin to Dallas County. We do far more than just give grants and make impact investments. We develop the impact and capacity of social impact organizations; we provide education and opportunities for not only our Partners but for our community essentially, we do good better.
