Featured Organization for Social Change

Social Venture Partners Vancouver (SVP Vancouver) is a network for senior business leaders who care about their communities. The organization seeks to catalyze significant, long-term positive social change by encouraging individuals to be well-informed, effective, and engaged philanthropists, and investing time, expertise and money in innovative not-for-profit organizations while helping to strengthen them in the process.

SVP Vancouver was established in 2001 by a group of successful entrepreneurs and is grounded in the model of venture philanthropy - time + talent + treasure ($) + ties - to increase organizational capacity in local non-profits that serve children and youth at-risk.
