It allowed me to better understand non-profits in our community. As an added bonus, I have met so many thoughtful humans and leaders that I have connected with beyond SVP!"

"I’m honored to share that my work with Social Venture Partners Minnesota continues to be a meaningful part of my leadership journey. In a time when showing up for our neighbors matters more than ever, being part of the SVPMN Board of Directors reminds me what’s possible when we combine our strengths, our expertise, and our generosity."

We are so grateful that Jacquelyn Carpenter has not only become a partner but chose to become a board member. Thank you Jacquelyn for sharing your why.

"SVP’s mission—to connect passionate people with bold, community‑driven nonprofits—aligns deeply with my own commitment to collective impact and shared giving. When we pool our time, talent, and resources, we strengthen the entire ecosystem of incredible nonprofits serving our region. Together truly is better—especially here in Minnesota.

As someone dedicated to workforce development and nonprofit leadership, serving with SVP gives me the opportunity to learn alongside experts, support innovative organizations, and keep growing in the work I care so much about. It’s collaboration at its best: thoughtful, strategic, and centered on community.
I’m grateful for the chance to serve, to learn, and to contribute to a network that believes in investing in people and partnerships. Here’s to continuing this work-together-for the greatest community impact."

joined our 2025 Together for Good Cohort to dive deep into the power of collective giving and action. Today she serves on the Social Venture Partners Minnesota Board and an Impact team. We asked her a few questions about her why…

"I love the power of community to reach far beyond the solo act of writing a check and into a thoughtful engaging conversation that makes the investment of money and time much greater and more meaningful.

Sitting side by side, in thoughtful conversation, about impact-driven work with human beings from a diverse range of professional and personal networks—a rare opportunity to develop new relationships with folks who care.

I am working with Wildflyer to help them build their dream alumni program; it's incredible to see a mutual vision come to fruition and to be involved not just with a financial investment but with hands (and hearts) on board. "

Our 2026 Together for Good Cohort starts in April. Please go to our website to learn more or hit Megan up for a chat about why you should join!
