Who are SV2’s Partners?
SV2’s Partners are a warm, welcoming, and diverse community of givers and changemakers. Our Partnership includes both new and seasoned philanthropists, busy professionals and civic leaders, individuals and families.
Do I have to pay to attend SV2 events?
No. Once you are an SV2 Partner, you can attend SV2 events on a complimentary basis. However, we ask that you RSVP for headcount and planning purposes. Occasionally, SV2 collaborates with other organizations on co-sponsored events where there may be a special discounted fee to cover costs.
What is the Visionary Leadership Circle?
We have an exciting and unique challenge match from our founder to bring forth a new generation of visionary leaders within SV2 committed to SV2’s mission, organizational capacity, sustainable impact and best future. We invite you to be a founding member of SV2’s Visionary Leadership Circle by contributing $20,000+ per year. Click here to learn more about SV2’s new Visionary Leadership Circle .
What is the minimum contribution in order to become an SV2 Partner?
The cost of SV2’s considerable social impact in the community, on Partners and Grantees is $10,000 per household. In light of this, $10,000 per year is the recommended contribution. Yet we strive to make joining SV2 as a Partner as accessible as possible to a range of Partners. In that spirit, we offer multiple contribution levels, including a “Contributing Partner” level at $6,000 (the minimum contribution) and a “Next Gen” level of $4,000 for Partners under 35, if you are unable to contribute at the $10,000 or above levels. If you work for an employer that can match your donation, you could donate half of your contribution and ask your employer to match the other half.
Is my Partner contribution to SV2 tax deductible?
Yes, all contributions to SV2 are fully tax-deductible.
Am I required to participate in SV2 programming as a Partner?
Definitely not! There is no requirement or even an expectation of participation – SV2 is a no-guilt and no-obligation zone. Roughly one third of our Partners are “Investor Partners,” meaning they support SV2’s impact financially with no participation in SV2 programming. Your involvement in the SV2 community can ebb, flow and evolve to fit your life and schedule.
