How much of SVP Calgarys budget is allocated to administration?
$1,300 from each Partner Unit’s annual contribution is allocated toward program support. SVP Calgary does not track ‘administrative costs’ in the traditional way because our philanthropic model is not traditional. We have a dual mission to promote philanthropy within our Partners and to build the capacity of our non-profit Investees. As such, our cost structure cannot be compared with organizations that award grants only. SVP Calgary’s program support costs include the cost of staff and infrastructure to support the learning, volunteer and networking opportunities for our Partners in the work of building the capacity of SVP Calgary and our Investees.
