Apply for a grant

SVP India, through its chapters, gives financial grants and mentoring support to NGOs working primarily in livelihood, employment, and income generation.

SVP typically grants the NGO a grant of Rs 10 – 15 lac per annum. However, the more significant benefit for our investee organizations lies in leveraging the time, skills, and expertise of the SVP partner group, the value of which can easily be 3 – 5x the financial support.

Our partners act as mentors, supporting the founder and top management of the NGO to achieve their goals. We provide strategic guidance and open our networks to the NGO, removing roadblocks to accelerate the growth of our investee NGOs.

SVP’s unique model allows for financial and non-financial support of qualifying NGOs.
