Mission & Vision SVP Seattle cultivates effective philanthropists and strengthens organizations driving community change – building powerful relationships that advance shared community goals. We envision a community in which, regardless of income or race, all children receive an excellent education and all people live and work in a healthy environment. We amplify impact in three distinct ways: We connect and engage individuals, helping them make the greatest impact with their time and philanthropic giving. We fund and strengthen nonprofits, helping them take their work for kids and the environment to the next level. We invest in collaborative solutions, so those with a common cause can align their efforts and go farther, together.
Organizational Overview SVP is a network of engaged donors that brings together nonprofits and philanthropists to learn from each other and build capacity for positive community impact. Our leveraged approach allows us to provide larger, longer term grants to nonprofits in the areas of Kindergarten Readiness, College & Career Readiness, and the Built & Natural Environment. While this position will be an employee of SVP, 65% of the role will support the Statewide Capacity Collaborative – a collaborative of 10 institutional foundations in Washington state, working together since 2009 to align and strengthen the capacity of nonprofits and statewide nonprofit ecosystem. Together we envision a healthy and resilient nonprofit sector, where individual nonprofits thrive, communities work collectively to address their needs and the sector is seen as a force for change. The SCC pools grant dollars from each individual foundation and make collaborative investments in line with our priorities around advocacy and policy for the sector, access to capacity building tools and resources and leadership development. SVP Seattle staff is a tight-knit team of 9 who are driven by a shared passion for achieving our mission and vision. We operate in an innovative culture which requires individuals to excel in a highly adaptive, collaborative, and volunteerdriven environment – actively demonstrating a willingness to “roll up his/her sleeves” and perform a variety of strategic and administrative functions. We hire smart, strategic and confident individuals who value and embrace internal and external collaboration, humility, continual learning and improvement. We seek individuals who can build a high level of trust, credibility and partnership with staff, donors, and nonprofit leaders.
