SV2 Impact Report

SV2 produces an impact report each year. Many public charity organizations like ours include a list of their members in the annual report.*

Yes, you may include my name and SV2 join date in the impact report and other public acknowledgments.
Please do not include me in the impact report or other public acknowledgements (we will list you as “anonymous” in this case)

Charitable Commitment Level & Duration

The full cost of SV2’s impact is $10,000/year per household. The more Partners who give at this level or higher, the more the SV2 community can realize its full potential impact. At the same time, SV2 strives to make joining our community as accessible and inclusive as possible, while ensuring SV2’s own sustainability. In that spirit, we offer a minimum contribution level of $6,000 (or $4,000 for Partners under 35 years old).

We encourage you to contribute at the highest level that works for you.

Please check one of the following options for Partner type and multi-year commitment:

a) Partner Type (all contributions are fully tax-deductible)*

Visionary Leadership Circle Partner
$20,000: Catalyze SV2’s transformational impact as a Founding member of the SV2 Visionary Leadership Circle.
Sustaining Partner
$10,000 (recommended): Support the full cost per household of SV2’s impact.
Contributing Partner
$6,000: Support part of the cost per household of SV2’s impact, if you are unable to contribute $10,000.
Under 35 Contributing Partner
$4,000: Support part of the cost per household of SV2’s impact, if you are unable to contribute $10,000 and under 35 years old.

NOTE: SV2 prefers a one-time annual contribution, but if it enables you to join, you can make your contribution in multiple installments over the course of the fiscal year. Please contact Lucinda Brommersma at lbrommersma@sv2.org to learn more.

b) Multi-Year Commitment*

SV2’s core model includes three-year grant commitments to the social ventures we support. Accordingly, we encourage multi-year commitments from SV2 Partners. (Note: this will not be considered a pledge so does not affect your ability to contribute from your Donor Advised Fund if that is how you choose to make your Partnership contribution)
