According to Young this event is a great way to see what SVP has to offer, and see the passion those involved have with helping and building their communities.
Going into the involvement with SVP Dallas Evans did not originally see getting involved with SVP Dallas so much as a way to help his business, but he found it actually has. Like any other business, non-profits needs these services. They are looking to attract as many top quality people as they can. Some of the services he uses in his company could be carried forward into charity work, and his consulting company deals in the areas of human resources, risk management, insurance.
Evans says his company goes in to evaluate the 501-C charities, including the tools they use to draw the people they need. They do this pro-bono. From this audit they are able to connect these charities to some truly amazing business owners, through SVP that will help the charities to grow, raise more money, and educate others.
Evans goes on to say that, although the primary reason business get into philanthropy is not to increase their own bottom line, through the networking with other like-minded businesses, and building a reputation for working for, as well as with, others, it does just that.
Young tells other business owners that working with charities is just “the right thing to do.” He thinks the SVP model is unique, and different from other charities. Young promotes the causes as they are brought to him, and shares their information to other business owners.
Wright tells of the business model that became SVP, “making small involvements of money, but large investments of time and experience.” SVP has been around for over 15 years.They look for Social Entrepreneurs, but in the long run charities are just like businesses.
