You Want Your Giving To Go Further. So Do We.
Join a community of philanthropists reimagining giving — people who want their philanthropy to go further and create deeper impact. We invest in nonprofits and their leadership with funding, expertise, and partnership so they can do more for B.C.’s children and youth.
As a Partner You Can:
- Amplify your impact. For every dollar donated, the additional value generated for our nonprofits through our Time, Talent, Treasure, and Ties is more than doubled
- Invest confidently knowing we conduct extensive due diligence on the organizations we work with
- Gain knowledge of the issues impacting your community
- Learn more about the complexity and nuances of the social purpose sector
- Create community and connections with other like-minded philanthropists
- Have the option to volunteer your time and talent to directly support nonprofit leaders driving transformation across B.C.
Ways to Get Involved
How much you engage is entirely up to you. Financial contributions are stretched further by Partners who volunteer their time and skills to strengthen our Investees, SVP, and the community at large.
Partner support is very flexible. Some Partners choose to engage with organizations who need their expertise for 1-2 hours at a time. Some Partners become actively engaged with our Investees, by consulting or mentoring the nonprofit leaders as they navigate day to day operations or as a member of their Board, and others engage directly with SVP granting opportunities, being part of the due diligence to review incoming organizations.

"...something that made SVP Vancouver so intriguing to me, is that we have the opportunity to use our skill sets to help enable so many incredible organizations to create significant positive change in our community. How beautiful is that?" - Nicole G. SVP Partner, Board Chair 2020 - 2024
"I like the idea of contributing more than just dollars through time, talent, and treasure. SVP offers a unique way to truly engage in the community. That hands-on involvement is much more rewarding and impactful than just writing a cheque. The SVP model is a perfect fit for how I want to give back." - Bob A., SVP Partner since 2015
"I’ll never forget my first Lead Partner meeting with Investee Promise Vancouver. It felt natural, like it was meant to be. I kept thinking, “What are the odds that this kind of magic happens?” - Sandra G., SVP Partner since 2024
