Social Ventures Australia (SVA) was established in 2002 as an independent non-profit organisation. We invest in social change by helping increase the impact and build the sustainability of those in the social sector.
SVA’s investments are focused on high potential organisations that are fostering solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing our community. We provide funding and strategic support to carefully selected non-profit partners, as well as offering consulting services to the social sector more broadly.
In this section of our site you can learn more deeply about who we are, what we believe and our approach to social change.
Who we are
Read on for a high level overview of our history and what we do.
What we believe
SVA believes that major bottlenecks currently exist in the social sector which are preventing the achievement of effective social change. We also believe that lifting education and employment participation levels is the most effective foundation for achieving sustainable, broad based and breakthrough change in disadvantaged communities.
Our approach to achieving social change
The one on one work we have undertaken with non-profit organisations over the past eight years has deeply informed our thinking on social change.
