Past Investees

Once a Nonprofit completes their funding cycle with us, many organizations choose to join our Alumni program. As part of the SVP Community they can access our knowledge events and capacity-building resources. Many Alumni organizations also choose to join our Communities of Practice and SVP committees to share their expertise with Partners and Investees.
