I feel more confident discussing key components of marketing strategy, and I got to learn about some incredible local organizations throughout the process!

I really enjoyed connecting with the folks from the organization I was partnered with. I knew about their work beforehand, but actually getting to them know as individuals and their commitment to the work they are doing was very powerful.

How long does a Partnership last?

We typically work with Partner on an annual basis (with options to keep collaborating indefinitely!), however, there are some opportunities to create shorter term engagements. We’re flexible and want to match your impact goals and timeline. 

Where does my Partnership donation go?

Your contribution to SVP Denver directly supports all of our programming. Each year, we provide thousands of hours of expert training and skills-based volunteer support to 40+ local impact organizations – all at (almost) no cost to participating organizations. We also host regular educational and social events to bring our community together to learn and connect. More Partners means we can expand our programs and offerings to make critical support and expertise accessible to more great organizations working to build a more equitable and inclusive Denver.

Is my donation tax deductible?

Yes! SVP Denver is fiscally sponsored by the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center, an established 501(c)(3) organization. So 100% of your contribution is tax deductible.

Can you tell me more about the events and training offered?

Of course! Each year, we give Partners the opportunity to join us for a variety of in-person and virtual events. They generally fall into 3 categories:

  • Happy hours / socials – Simple get togethers to network and connect with other local professionals and nonprofit leaders.
  • Learning sessions – We organize ‘lunch and learns’, site visits and pitch events to hear directly from social impact leaders who are driving change. 
  • Workshops – Opportunities to build professional / leadership skills in areas such as facilitations, communicating across difference, nonprofit coaching in more. These are hosted in collaboration with expert facilitators.
