Where Your Money Goes
Why SVP NYC Matters
Grassroots organizations are small, community-based nonprofits that know their neighbors and the challenges they face better than anyone. When you donate to SVP NYC, most of your gift goes straight to these local changemakers so they can keep doing the work that matters most in their communities. A portion also supports training, mentorship, and events that help them grow stronger for the future. Only a tiny slice covers admin costs — so nearly every dollar you give is put to work where it counts.
85%
of U.S. nonprofits operate on less than $1M annually, limiting their ability to scale and sustain impact.
$97B in wages
NYC nonprofits employ 1.3M people and generate $97B in wages, yet many remain underfunded.
SVP NYC bridges this gap by providing multi-year, trust-based support and deep, engaged partnerships that strengthen community leadership.
