The collection of SVP city chapters (now numbering 23 and growing!) form a network of individuals who care passionately about making the world a better place. Fundamental to the SVP model is engagement: as well as money, Partners give their time, professional skills, and creativity to work in partnership with local nonprofits to meet community needs and bring about positive social change.
"By 2005, nearly 1 in 5 of Toronto’s two-parent families were low-income, compared to approximately 1 in 10 at the national, provincial and rest of Toronto CMA levels. For lone-parent families, incredibly, more than 50% were low-income in 2005."
– Frances Lankin, President & CEO, United Way of Greater Toronto
“By offering donors more engagement and more education, SVP aims to deliver more money and more time for worthy causes — expanding the pie of charitable dollars in Toronto.”
– Kathryn Wortsman, Chair, SVPT Leadership Committee
