Partners

Our partners are listeners. They’re doers. And because they all share a deep commitment to investing in nonprofit leaders serving Chicago’s South and West Side neighborhoods, they don’t shy away from rolling up their sleeves and working shoulder-to-shoulder to support our community partners’ organizational needs.  

SVP Partners are fueled by purpose-driven work and eager to develop their philanthropic muscle. No matter their professional background, gender, race or age, they recognize that funneling our collective resources — skills-based volunteerism, dollars and networks/connections — to communities that traditional philanthropy often leaves behind, helps nonprofit leaders create greater impact in those communities.
