Finding the best way to make a measurable contribution to the community is not easy. Often when you donate to charitable organizations, you worry where your contribution will end up and what the results will be. A lot of people want to learn more about charitable needs but do not know how. Social Venture Partners Calgary changes that.

We are a partnership of 100 people who have contributed $900,000 and thousands of volunteer hours into worthy organizations in Calgary. To date we have invested our unique time and money approach into building the capacity of 10 non-profit organizations. Our Partners lend their skills and the talents of their personal networks in strategic planning, finance, legal, communication, human resources, technology, marketing and the like. Our three to five year relationship with these non-profits allows them to build their foundations to more successfully provide the programs that in turn help needy Calgarians.

By joining SVP, you become part of a community that offers:

• hands on and formal educational opportunities to learn about the needs in the community and how to best respond
• a community of like-minded peers who regularly get together through social opportunities, committee work and/or work with Investees
• the chance to use your professional talents and skills to help non-profits and SVP Calgary better succeed
• an opportunity for your entire family, your colleagues and your network to get involved
• a chance to give back and make a difference.

We invite you to meet with us one on one, or attend our monthly information sessions at the Social Venture Partners Calgary offices to find out more. Contact us today!
