COLLABORATION

TOGETHER, WE’LL BUILD SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

We approach collaboration as one of co-creation and partnership. We bring our skills, experiences and a willingness to learn. Nonprofit leaders bring professional expertise about their specific industry and a willingness to fully engage in the process. Together, we define consulting projects for building capacity and amplifying impact. With a community-centered, equity focused and anti-racism lens, we partner with promising nonprofits toward ensuring that every young person’s future unfolds uncompromised by systemic injustice.

Social Venture Partners “Together for Good” Cohort

The word "philanthropy" is rooted in the Greek words for "love" and "mankind" or "humanity." So a philanthropist is someone who acts out of love for humanity. But what does it personally mean to you?

We invite you to be part of a dynamic, six-month cohort designed to deepen your giving, expand your impact, and connect you with a network of passionate change makers. Through structured monthly sessions, you’ll:

  • Clarify Your Giving Approach – Explore your values and how they shape your giving.
  • Engage with Nonprofit Leaders – Learn from experts in social justice, youth initiatives, and trust-based philanthropy.
  • Gain Hands-On Grant making Experience – Collaborate with peers to distribute funds to youth serving organizations.
  • Build Meaningful Relationships – Connect with fellow philanthropists, SVP partners, and local leaders.

Each session includes inspiring speakers, guided discussions, and reflection time—all hosted at The Minneapolis Club with complimentary parking and access.

💰SVP 2026 Cohort Investment: $3,000 per person—$2,500 of which goes directly into a collective giving pool for local youth-serving nonprofits.

🌟 Special Offer: Sign up with a friend, and you both can join for $4,000 total. If the cost feels like a barrier please know SVPMN has scholarships available to support you on your journey. Reach out to us to learn more!

What You’ll Walk Away With:

  • Confidence and connections to navigate the social impact sector
  • Deeper pride as a community member
  • A clear vision of where to give your time, talent, and treasure

Ready to sign up to learn more? Please complete this form and SVP will contact you to set up time to answer your questions and discuss payment options. Please note- this form does not lock you in. Let's talk. We want to know what is moving you to consider joining.
