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.
