Weekly Partner Updates. We curate and deliver upcoming events, community engagement opportunities, great reads, private invitations and more.
SVP Austin Gathers. Monthly casual get-togethers (usually at happy hour time) with other community groups. These are great for meeting like-minded people as well as
SVP Austin Connects. Our community faces critical challenges and we believe in keeping tuned in to both the issues and the solutions. These are virtual monthly events over a lunch hour.
SVP Austin Partners commit to Personally Significant Giving (generally a top-three annual charitable gift) with a $1,000 per year minimum donation — payable monthly or annually.
These are tax deductible and may include online debit/credit card, check, employer matching funds, DAF distributions, appreciated stock, or other personal fundraising/crowdfunded sources.
If you’re unable to personally fulfill the $1,000 annual (or $85/month) donation requirement, you may request a Partnership Grant (between $100-$500) to reach that minimum. Grant recipients commit at least 24 hrs of service each year.
Partners donating at $2,500 or higher levels provide broader impact for our mission and may designate up to 30% of their donation to fund our two SVP Austin Grant Pools*.
Discretion is always maintained regarding individual donations, as well as any grant funding provided to subsidize one’s Partnership.
Financial Commitment
*Nonprofit Grant Pool: Nonprofits having been served by SVP Austin during the past 12 months will be eligible.
*Partnership Grant Pool: These are personal grants that allow SVP Austin to increase our skills capacity and diversity of perspectives.
