Social Venture Partners Tucson (SVP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making our community more equitable, with opportunities for all. We do this by investing in high-potential nonprofits in our areas of focus (early childhood education, workforce development, racial and gender justice, and those serving historically marginalized communities) through multi-faceted capacity building relationships. As a membership-based organization, we bridge the gap between philanthropists and nonprofits – driving relationships and resources between these areas, and building resilience in nonprofits and the Tucson community. SVP Tucson uses a 2Gen approach to create lasting change in our community.

​

SVP Tucson is in a period of rapid transformation and growth. Currently, we have an operating budget of $1,500,000, a staff of 7 FTE, 150 Investor Partners, and a portfolio of 16 current and 92 alumni Nonprofit Partners. SVP Tucson is one of over 40 SVP affiliates bringing a unique model of engaged philanthropy to communities all over the world. Through our unique partnership model, individuals and corporations make an annual philanthropic investment in SVP and have the opportunity to engage directly in our work and impact through strategically designed projects that include capacity building, professional coaching and community convening.
