**WHO YOU ARE**: You are an excellent problem solver. You inspire trust with all stakeholders in the SVP community: partners, donors, investees, and staff. You understand the importance of attention to detail and time management and have excellent organizational skills. You are a strong communicator both written and verbally and you value open, honest, and caring communication.

**WHO WE ARE**:A community of philanthropists and changemakers. We're a grantmaking foundation, but we give differently: we leverage the time, talent, treasure, and ties of the SVP community to improve the way non-profits operate, in service of helping kids and youth. We also strive to educate and engage philanthropists. Our community consists of 150+ engaged philanthropists and 25+ nonprofit organizations. Over the last 21 years, our foundation has provided nearly 70 non-profits with more than $12 million in grants and capacity building programming. SVP Vancouver is one of the largest affiliates of SVP International, a global network of over 40 organizations in as many cities.

**Diversity**: SVP Vancouver is an equal-opportunity employer, and we are committed to cultivating a team that reflects the diversity of Vancouver. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital or domestic partner status, veteran status, medical condition, mental or physical disability which would not prevent the performance of essential job duties without reasonable accommodation.
