DDW and Apero Media team up to create a website presence for Social Venture Partners Calgary. The website was a donation to the organization that is a partnership between generous individuals and needy not-for-profits. SVP Calgary combines the time, expertise, and financial and physical resources of its partners and turns it into a powerful tool of positive change for cash-strapped, advice-ready and resource-constrained not-for-profits. These organizations not only get the commitment of money and resources over a number of years, but the professional advice that leads to more successful outcomes.

Based on a successful and established model pioneered in Seattle, SVP Calgary is a philanthropic organization that applies the venture capital model to philanthropy. Partners invest in innovation and then actively nurture their financial investment with guidance and resources. It's an engaging way for individuals to execute charitable giving - to take an active role and make a positive difference in Calgary. In addition, Social Venture Partners Calgary is an excellent channel through which to learn about philanthropy and social giving.
