SVP cultivates effective philanthropists, strengthens nonprofits, and invests in collaborative solution and strategy design – building powerful relationships to support the nonprofit community in addressing our communities’ social challenges. Our organization provides the opportunity for the private and nonprofit sectors to connect and work collaboratively  to increase the impact of nonprofit organizations in our region.

The Full Circle Nonprofit Accelerator; a program of Social Venture Partners (SVP) Pittsburgh and The Forbes Funds: Full Circle Nonprofit Accelerator Program, is a proven capacity-building initiative that serves cohorts of nonprofit leaders in order to improve organizational management, program design, program implementation, financial sustainability, and increase overall impact.

Join the Next Generation of Philanthropy:
To support our DEI commitments, SVP Pittsburgh has redesigned and are re-launching our Fellows program. We invite socially conscious private sector professionals and entrepreneurs, as well as those interested in civic engagement to join our network of engaged philanthropists (SVP Partners) through the SVP Full Circle Fellowship. Traditionally, SVP Partners contribute annually to the organization in addition to providing coaching and mentoring; SVP Full Circle Fellows are invited to join as SVP Partners with a scholarship award that covers the annual contribution. This program is designed to expand our Partner network by providing access to those who may not be able to make a financial contribution, but have skills and expertise that can support the nonprofit organizations we serve.

Deadline to apply: 1/31/21
