Grant Description
In-kind donations of consulting services to Texas nonprofit and for-profit social impact organizations in eligible areas to build capacity and improve organizational effectiveness. In addition, one organization will receive a $2,500 prize.

Social Venture Partners (“SVP”) builds powerful relationships among people who want to give back and the social impact organizations that make change possible. SVP is a diverse group of individual donors (“Partners”) – business people, entrepreneurs, and social impact leaders – who combine their skills, resources, and networks to help social impact organizations succeed. SVP focuses its philanthropy on capacity building, and work with you to strengthen your organization and increase your impact in the community.
