Summer 2023 Impact Programs
We provide nonprofit and for-profit organizations dedicated to building a better Metro Denver with free training and strategic consulting services. Apply by April 28th!
Expert-led Training
We make expert-led trainings accessible for social mission organizations that don’t have the resources to hire expert consultants or invest in expensive capacity-building programs.
In these programs, you will join a group of local impact organizations for online/in-person sessions that will help you level up in a fun, fast-paced program with proven results. Each cohort and workshop is facilitated by a subject matter expert and social impact organizations are matched with local professionals from SVP Denver’s Partner network who provide additional support and third-party feedback along the way.
