Social Venture Partners is the largest network of engaged donors in the world who are driven by the passion and purpose to make our world a better place. Since 1997, more than 2,500 SVP Partners in North America, Japan and India have contributed close to $46 million (USD) in grant investments to over 500 nonprofits and volunteered countless thousands of business and professional hours.

SVP seeks to catalyze significant, long-term positive social change in their communities through:
- Philanthropy Development: Creating communities of lifelong, informed and inspired philanthropists.
- Capacity Building: Making strategic investments that build long-term capacity for nonprofits so they can better fill their missions.
