SV2 Partner Contribution Level

Your contribution can either be one year or a multi-year pledge and includes benefits for you and one other household member. SV2 Investor Partners typically contribute between $10,000 and $150,000+ annually. 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)*

SV2 Visionary: $100,000
SV2 Champion: $50,000
SV2 Catalyst: $25,000
SV2 Advocate:$10,000
SV2 Changemaker:$6,000

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. If you can make either a multi-year pledge or a one-time contribution of $50,000 or more, you will access additional benefits for our 25th Anniversary in 2023. Please contact Bonnie Lin at blin@sv2.org to learn more or if you have any questions.

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)
