Social Venture Partners Arizona

SVP Arizona cultivates effective philanthropists, strengthens nonprofits, and invests in collaborative solutions - building powerful relationships to tackle our desert community's social challenges.

We take a venture-capital approach to philanthropy by providing expertise and funding to emerging and growing local nonprofits. Our Partnership of successful business people and community leaders provide time and talent to our Investees in order to expand their capacity, helping them reach their full potential. We work with organizations that are making children successful in the areas of educational opportunities, safety and support, and health and wellness.

Established in 1999, SVP Arizona has contributed more than $4.3 million dollars and 35,000 consultation-hours for more than 100 nonprofits in our community. Local success stories include Bloom365, Spot 127, Treasures 4 Teachers, Feeding Matters, Camelback High School, Teen Lifeline, and many more. We are currently serving Linda Abril Educational Academy and I Can Math, and we are amid the process of selecting who will become our newest Investee!
