“The Kellogg School Center for Nonprofit Management has partnered with SVP Chicago in a number of ways over the years and has consistently observed their thoughtful approach to philanthropy, deep community engagement, and innovative programming. As a sponsor of the Fast Pitch competition, we’ve had the opportunity to see how SVP supports community-based organizations through coaching, funding and visibility, helping them build capacity and strengthen their impact.

We also appreciated the contributions of SVP Chicago’s Executive Director Evelyn Fitzgerald and SVP Partner Cindy Paulauskas to our Nonprofit Board Essentials video series. Their perspectives on the role of board members in community-based organizations added valuable insights for viewers across the country.

We recognize SVP Chicago’s efforts to amplify the work of organizations on Chicago’s south and west sides and commend their ongoing investment in local leadership.”
