Social Venture Partners Seattle is a philanthropic organization, but we do more than give away money. We are a community of people and organizations working together to advance racial justice through philanthropy. We support and invest in community-led solutions that are powered by people doing the work. This includes connecting individuals who want to give their time, talent, and treasure to make their communities stronger, and amplifying the work of nonprofits through our capacity building, grantmaking, and skilled volunteering.
