Invest. Engage. Enjoy.
A New Way of Giving
“Engaged Philanthropy” means being more than a generous check writer. Through SVPS, our partner members use their business skills and donations to help nonprofits meet community challenges more effectively.
The Partners
We are social venture partners, an international network of successful businesspeople who are philanthropic, skilled and willing to get involved helping nonprofits succeed.
The Grant Recipients
We choose grant recipients based on our belief that through improving education and health in our region we will improve the quality of life.
What We Do
We give funds and skills to help build the capacity of selected nonprofits, which means doing more with what they have, getting more of what they need and producing more of what our community wants and values. We also encourage social enterprise and the growth of the new ‘low-profit’ social benefit companies.
Strategic Partners
We partner with companies and foundations to leverage the value of their community investments. We also work with area universities, including the University of the Pacific’s Global Center for Social Enterprise, to help build the next generation of engaged philanthropists.
You Are Invited
Join us! Make more good things happen with your philanthropy and skills in the company of like-minded friends. Our time together enjoying and supporting each other is as important as the community work we do.
