With more than 4,000 members from Boston to Bangalore, SVP is the world’s largest network of engaged donors.
SVP Vancouver enjoys the support and involvement of 95 Partners households – 170 individuals and couples. They range from tech-savvy entrepreneurs to financial managers, from community leaders to corporate veterans, and from foundation executives to people just beginning to explore their giving potential.
Every story is different, but each is fuelled by a series of connections. That’s the beauty of the SVP network. You never know who will take your impact to the next level.
