WHO WE ARE: A community of philanthropists and changemakers. We're a grantmaking foundation, but we give differently. At SVP, we've re-imaged the role philanthropy can play in our communities. Through our venture philanthropy model, we find, fund, strengthen, and scale nonprofits with the ultimate goal of helping vulnerable children, youth, and families in B.C. thrive. We also strive to educate and engage philanthropists. To do this, we use the time, talent, treasure and ties of the SVP community--our 150+ SVP Partners (our donors), the SVP team, and our 30+ nonprofit organizations (our Investees and Alumni). We want to change the game for nonprofits, the kids they support, and the nonprofit sector as a whole.
HOW WE WORK: We foster a people-first culture, recognizing that meaningful change happens when our team members feel valued and empowered. Our work can at times be fast-paced but not at the sake of work-life balance. Collaboration is in our DNA—we bring together donors and community leaders to drive change. It is also a core part of our work culture. We are a small team of problem-solvers who wear many hats, often shifting between different priorities and responsibilities within the same day. We strive to be flexible, take initiative, and embrace the complexity that is inherent in our work. We celebrate different workstyles and bring our whole selves to work. We work hybrid workweeks in Vancouver and we enjoy spending one and a half days (or more) together in our shared office. Given the nature of this role, we require the successful candidate to be a resident of B.C. and within commuting distance of Vancouver, B.C.
