Founded in 2014, Social Venture Partners (SVPTB) Tampa Bay’s mission is to bolster the growth and sustainability of regional nonprofits by utilizing its members’ expertise and resources. Each year SVPTB conducts a mentoring and business development program called FastPitch. Organizers carefully selected eight participants from over 50 applicants to participate in the course developed and led by some of the region’s top educators and business professionals. Throughout the program, the nonprofit’s leaders receive lessons on operations, marketing, finance, legal applications, and properly communicating their mission.

Participants are awarded unrestricted grant funding supported by the generosity of SVPTB partners and long-standing title sponsor, Community Foundation Tampa Bay. Part of an international organization serving eight countries, the local SVP chapter has strategically helped over 50 area nonprofits, donated more than $500,000, and the community leaders that comprise its members have dedicated over 2,500 service hours on their path towards “engaged philanthropy.”
