Our Mission

SVP Arizona cultivates effective philanthropists, strengthens nonprofits, and invests in collaborative solutions – building powerful relationships to tackle our desert community’s social challenges.

How Do We Do This? We Go Beyond Philanthropy.

SVPAZ does more than give away money. We amplify the impact of those out to do good in three distinct ways:

1. Connect and engage individuals, helping them make the greatest impact with their philanthropic giving.
2. Fund and strengthen nonprofits, helping them take their vital work for kids and families to the next level.
3. Invest in collaborative solutions, so those with a common cause can align their efforts and go further, together.
4. Next Generation Partners hone their vision of philanthropy at an early age.
5. Full Circle provides an ongoing cycle of continued engagement and education to nonprofits previously involved with SVPAZ.

We need to do more than work with individual philanthropists and nonprofits. We need to be smarter, more connected, more aligned. That’s why we are investing in collaborative solutions like Camelback High School and our annual SVP Arizona Fast Pitch.

Social entrepreneurship does not have to be the survival of the fittest. It has to be about the survival of the best and most pragmatic idea to solve a quality-of-life problem that impacts many, the wide replication of the solution and its lasting impact. Here in Arizona, we are raising awareness of pediatric feeding struggles, creating a culture that does not tolerate domestic violence and improving the health & fitness of our local youth. We can’t do it alone, we need you too.
