Over the last several months, the SVP Seattle Board and Staff have been hard at work on a new 5-Year Plan. We looked … backward, forward, at the non-profit and philanthropic sector, at relationships with our investees, at how SVP could play the most positive role in the future. I’ve been to several conferences and in conversations about how to make the non-profit and philanthropic sector (including funders like SVP) more effective. The time feels ripe for meaningful, systemic change.
