The Mission
SVP Charlotte seeks to catalyze significant, long-term positive social change in Charlotte by:
-
Educating individuals to be well informed, effective, and engaged philanthropists;
-
Investing time, expertise, and money in innovative nonprofits to collaboratively strengthen their organizations.
Engaged Venture Philanthropy - SVP Charlotte invests time, expertise and money in nonprofits. We seek collaborative relationships with nonprofits that last for at least three years.
Entrepreneurial Spirit - SVP Charlotte uses innovative approaches to achieve leveraged results in our nonprofit partnerships and communities. We delegate decisions, resources, and authority to those closest to the work.
Philanthropic Education - SVP Charlotte Partners educate themselves and become informed, effective, lifetime philanthropists. Ongoing individual philanthropy is catalyzed through hands-on experience and education.
Charlotte & Collaborative Action - SVP Charlotte believes in the power of collective, self-organized effort. We encourage and maintain a highly-participatory, Partner-driven organization that use non-hierarchical, low-overhead communications and operating practices. SVP Charlotte supports an open exchange of knowledge and lessons learned, and avoids partisan, religious or political activities.
Mutual Respect - SVP Charlotte respects the expertise of Charlotte nonprofit organizations. We form close working relationships with organizations where we can mutually vest in the nonprofit’s success.
Accountability & Results - SVP Charlotte Partners are mutually accountable to each other, our Investees and the Charlotte. We achieve and document measurable results, both in our own work and through our partnerships with nonprofits.
