At Our Chapter

We amplify your impact in Pune and beyond. We connect funders, businesses, and individuals with local non-profits and social organizations to forge positive & dynamic change. We help you do more—with the right combination of time, treasure, talent, ties, and training. SVP India, Pune Chapter is a support system for philanthropists & NGOs and a catalyst for change.

The Pune Chapter of SVP India was launched in 2014 and since then has worked with over 15 grass-root organizations and more than 100 like-minded individuals who believe in creating impact. Along with individual philanthropists, our Chapter launched the Corporate Partnership Program in early 2020. It is aimed at companies who wish to provide the SVP experience to their senior executives. The organization nominees to SVP partake of the diverse learning and growth opportunities like focused learning sessions, workshops, NGO visits, Chapter Committees, and hands-on volunteering opportunities at NGOs.

Being a part of a network of like-minded individuals always creates a sense of community; where one can learn and share. My best learnings have been listening to a lot to several voices – the leadership of the NGO and the personnel who work there, community stakeholders, SVP India Partners as well as the management team

My association with SVP has been a great learning in many ways. While I was already somewhat familiar with basic working of NGOs, I feel I have gained from listening to many different perspectives within SVP, in finding solutions and working towards a common goal. I have thoroughly enjoyed the learning series & listening to the various investees.

Every interaction at SVP has been a learning experience. Sometimes, it’s the NGO leaders working at the grassroots who have inspired me. Sometimes, it is the approach of some partners to the task at hand that inspires me. Sometimes, it is the way the common ground is identified during a logjam that inspires me.
