Giving Results

People who join SVP want to give in a way that makes the greatest impact possible – on them, on nonprofits, on our community.  This takes many forms, and in a biennial survey* we track changes in our Partners’ financial giving and civic engagement. These results are supported by an independent study published by the University of Southern California.

Since joining SVP…

Partners Give More

The majority of Partners surveyed have increased their giving since joining SVP. Among the Partners whose giving changed, 64% say that SVP was a factor.

Partners Give More Strategically

Through shared learning, collective grantmaking and volunteering, our Partners develop a more strategic approach to their giving. Among the Partners who indicated a change in their approach, 93% say that SVP was a factor.

Partners are More Involved In Their Community

The majority of Partners surveyed have increased their civic engagement in several areas, and many are now community leaders. Among those whose engagement increased,  91% say that SVP was a factor in that change.
