 SPP is a partnership with BCT
Social Venture Partners (SVP).
The SPP focuses on creating sustained employment
for hard-to-employ persons, such as many residents in Vancouver's
downtown eastside (DTES). The SPP creates employment by creating a continuum
of services built upon the capacity and collaboration of the existing
community-based training and educational expertise and using industry-based
employment relationships and partnerships. The training exists,
the industry opportunities exist, and the SPP connects and facilitates
the components into a successful connection for individuals to employment.
BCT SVP is a charitable foundation created
in August 2001, by individuals in BC's technology and venture capital
industries. We are employing a 'venture philanthropy' approach to
supporting positive social change in our community. We hope to increase
the effectiveness and sustainability of not for profit organizations
by investing not only our money but also our time and expertise.
Through this process, we hope to engage a new generation of philanthropists
in enhancing the quality of life in our community.
