See the transformative impact of collective giving

As venture philanthropists, we mobilize skills, money, and influence to collectively build community capacity for solving problems together.

At SVP Portland, our goal is to ensure that all children — regardless of race, ethnicity, wealth, religion, gender, or zip code — have high-quality, culturally-relevant early learning experiences.

How We Help

SVP Portland helps organizations—called our Community Partners—build their operational capacity and resilience, scale their community impact, and, ultimately, enable more underserved children to attend preschool.

Our Dedicated Partners

Our network of 130 business professionals contribute their skills pro bono because they want to invest in our community and work toward greater equity in early learning. We exist to help nonprofits grow to serve even more children, while also helping them thrive as sustainable businesses.

Join us on the journey

“The SVP team always heard us, they worked to problem solve, they were adaptive, and they recalibrated. And I’m not saying sometimes or most times, I’m saying it was every time. This is a truly responsive model for capacity building that redefines the traditional funder/nonprofit relationship.”
