Become a Partner at SV2
Partner Benefits include:
-
Networking— connect with peers interested in philanthropy and share experiences and knowledge with others.
-
Leveraged Giving — a gift to SV2’s pooled fund is leveraged with other gifts, which results in larger grants and a greater impact on the community than Partners might otherwise make. SV2 grants incorporate due diligence and accountability measures, ensuring that decisions are made thoughtfully.
-
Educational Seminars — hear from leading philanthropic professionals on personal and professional giving strategies and trends in philanthropy.
-
Philanthropic Forums — learn about current issues affecting the community.
-
Flexible Involvement — engage at your own pace as professional and family life allows.
