All We See is Potential.
It starts with one person. One person joins many people. Together they will help build communities able to solve our most entrenched problems.
That’s Social Venture Partners. A global network of local partners aligning passion and purpose.
Helping individuals realize greater impact with their giving, strengthening nonprofits, and investing in collaborative solutions – we make connections that make a difference. Connections that unleash potential.
Our Mission: Do Good, Better.
We are engaged community leaders committed to improving lives and maximizing social impact through the thoughtful application of our collective resources and expertise.
SVP cultivates effective philanthropists, strengthens nonprofits, and invests in innovative solutions – building powerful relationships to tackle our community’s social challenges.
How Do We Do This? We Go Beyond Philanthropy.
SVP does more than give away money. We amplify the impact of those out to do good in three distinct ways:
- Connect and engage individuals, helping them make the greatest impact with their philanthropic giving (read more about Becoming a Partner and the Dana Juett Residency)
- Fund and strengthen nonprofits, helping them take their vital work to the next level (read more about our Advisee Process)
- Advance social innovation in North Texas so those working for social change can adopt new organizational and impact models (read more about our Social Innovation Luncheon Series, bigBANG!, and Partner & Prosper)
SVP Dallas' Mission is focused around three clearly defined Ends:
For Partner Organizations & Stakeholders: Organizations focused on eliminating social injustice in Greater Dallas increase their capacity for social impact.
For SVP Partners: SVP Partners develop and hone the skills and knowledge necessary to leverage their collective influence to address the root causes of social injustice in Greater Dallas.
For the Broader Community: SVP is an effective convener and catalyst for engaged leaders in the Greater Dallas Community who seek viable solutions to social injustice.
Social Venture Partners is committed to equity and equality across staffing and volunteer opportunities. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, or religion.
At SVP, we recognize that our global systems, including philanthropy, are too often exacerbating instead of solving issues of racial and economic injustice.
Several years ago, our SVP Dallas Board of Governors decided to work together to clearly express our values and our beliefs and to redirect our collective focus. The board concluded that the underlying cause of most of our society’s ailments is, in fact, racism. More specifically, it is systemic racism. The board redirected our mission to offer targeted support to those organizations that have specific missions to eradicate the ill effects of systemic injustice. Our theory of change is focused on building the capacity of these organizations that do this painstaking work every day, so they can do more, reach more, make more impact.
Racial and social justice is not just this week’s issue, it is an issue that has caused centuries of oppression, gaping disparities, and inhumane inequity.
Please join us, our partners, and the organizations we work with to magnify our collective efforts and build a more just community, right here, right now.
