Become an SVP Partner
Joining SVP Chicago as a partner is your chance to connect with a community of like-minded philanthropists and work side-by-side with dynamic nonprofit leaders driving change on Chicago’s South and West Sides. Many of our partners join us to bring their own social impact goals to life—or to tap into our learnings to shape them.
Our partners' financial and pro-bono contributions are the lifeblood of SVP Chicago, powering both our mission and our growth. We ask for a minimum annual commitment of $6,000 from all our partners, which fuels our ability to create lasting change while sustaining our own organizational stability. For those who may be short on time but still believe in our mission, we offer the option to be a financial partner only — trusting fellow SVP Partners to put your dollars to work where they’ll make the greatest impact.
Corporate Partners
SVP Chicago empowers philanthropists and community-based nonprofits to create greater impact, together. By investing the coaching and skills-based support, money and connections of our philanthropists to help the community-based nonprofits we serve, we’re making equity in philanthropy a reality in Chicago’s South and West Sides.
And because in philanthropy, one size doesn’t fit all, SVP Chicago intentionally focuses on smaller, community-based nonprofits who are making outsized impact in their neighborhoods but are all too often overlooked in traditional philanthropy. While these nonprofits are led by individuals with strong connections to the issues they’re tackling, they typically face bigger obstacles to accessing available resources and funding.
By sponsoring SVP, our corporate partners help us bridge the gap between obstacles and opportunities for the community-based nonprofits we serve. And our tiered sponsorship plans help our corporate partners bridge the gap between having a social impact plan and activating a social impact plan.
