TEAM RESOURCES
Our teams of Partners come together to support nonprofits that are at an inflection point and help them reach the next level. Our approach sets the stage for successful engagements and impact.

ENGAGEMENT MATERIALS
This list reflects lessons learned from previous engagements and proven approaches that result in higher impact for nonprofits. Lead and team member practices put SVP values into action.
Use this agenda as a starting point for running your first full team meeting with the nonprofit. Staff will participate and present SVP as needed.
This document will define and describe the working relationship between SVP and the nonprofit. Begin developing the scope of support at the kickoff meeting with the nonprofit, refine with your team and SVP staff, and finalize collaboratively with the nonprofit. The final version provides a helpful reference point for the team over time and can be revised or expanded if needed.
​
A Memorandum of Understanding is sent to the nonprofit once a Scope of Support has been established for the engagement. The Scope of Support is attached as an appendix to the MOU. This document outlines the key elements of our partnership to support mutual understanding between SVP and the organization's leadership, including the board of directors.
Upon completion of the engagement, you will draft a Close Out Letter to the nonprofit to conclude our work together. SVP Staff will develop this impact statement to tell the story of our work with the nonprofit. This will include feedback from the team and the nonprofit and an externally facing blog post.
