THE WORLD IS A SAFE PLACE
This month , I wanted to introduce Social Venture Partners LA , along with my dear friend Christine Margiotta , SVP ’ s new Executive Director . SVP cultivates effective philanthropists , strengthens nonprofits , and invests in collaborative solutions – building powerful relationships to tackle our community ’ s social challenges .
SVP Goes Beyond Philanthropy . It does more than giving away money . They amplify the impact of those out to do good in three distinct ways :
- Connect and engage individuals , helping them make the greatest impact with their philanthropic giving .
- Fund and strengthen nonprofits , helping them take their vital work for kids and the environment to the next level .
- Invest in collaborative solutions , so those with a common cause can align their efforts and go further , together .
Christine and I have worked together for many years partnering to end homelessness in Los Angeles . She recently moved on from her position at the United Way LA to be a part of SVP . I am so proud of Christine and Thankful for all the work she does . SVP is also getting ready for a great event called “ Fast Pitch .” Please click the link to find out more :
