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.
