Relationship Highlights
We went from working with under 100 kids in 2012 to more than 500 at the end of 2016. We grew from three to 19 staff, who are making a huge difference in the lives of kids here in Calgary. Becoming a SVP Investee in 2012 increased the legitimacy of our organization. It offered us a level of credibility and gave us the confidence to grow our organization.
It was an incredible experience to watch Two Wheel View grow from a grass roots organization to an organization that is expected to serve 600 kids in 2017 and have an operating budget of over half a million dollars. They secured funding (some multi-year) from multiple new sources over the course of our investment. We’ll miss them as an investee, but this won’t be the end of SVP’s relationship with them.
