Shape a Better Tomorrow – Partner with SVP Today
“We never had any money… but help from SVP was a massive weight off our shoulders.”
At SVP, we believe meaningful change happens when mission and business unite with a shared purpose.
Your company already strengthens your community by employing local people and bringing services and activity into the area.
Through SVP’s Heart of the Community: Companies Giving for Good Corporate Partnership Programme, you can amplify that impact – joining a network of businesses committed to bringing dignity, comfort, and hope to people across Ireland.
From championing education to fighting food poverty, as part of SVP's Heart of the Community, your company can make a real difference where it counts.
We offer flexible, collaborative partnership opportunities designed to advance your CSR and ESG goals while strengthening the communities we all share.
Whether through strategic corporate partnerships, company donations, dynamic fundraising events, matched giving, or hands‑on employee engagement and volunteering, we’ll work with you to deliver real, measurable impact.
Let’s create something powerful, together.
Why Partner with SVP?
SVP brings credibility, experience, and deep community trust to every partnership.
As Ireland’s largest voluntary charitable organisation, we have been supporting individuals and families for more than 180 years, working at the heart of communities nationwide.
“After my husband died, it’s just been me and my two cats, Ollie and Charles. With my daughters living abroad, I worry sometimes about how I will manage and I often put the cats before myself. The support I received from SVP has made such a difference. The grocery vouchers brought real relief and peace of mind. Last Christmas, we felt warm, well fed, and looking forward to a cosy time together. I’m very grateful for the kindness and support.”
We combine the scale and expertise of a national organisation with the ability to deliver local impact, ensuring your support reaches the communities that matter most to your business.
Working closely with you, we create programmes aligned with your CSR and ESG priorities and turn purpose into action.
“I was shaking when I made the call to my local SVP Conference. All I wanted was a proper bed for my son. After months of homelessness, we finally had a place, but it was pretty empty of furniture and we were sharing a bed with our young son, Shane. But SVP came to the rescue and delivered a second bed. Shane is now doing much better and thriving in school.”
How Your Company Can Partner With SVP
- Unite your employees around a shared purpose

- Support the causes your people care about – from education to food poverty – to make a real difference where it counts
Make a meaningful and immediate difference in the lives of vulnerable families and individuals. You can help relieve the everyday pressures many households are experiencing - whether it’s putting food on the table, keeping the lights on, or paying for an education.
Every contribution offers practical, timely relief to those who need it most.
Or contact us at compaines@svp.ie to discuss how your donation can be directed to support families and individuals in your local community.
A strategic partnership is a multi‑year commitment that drives long‑term stability, supports sustainable growth, and enables SVP to plan, deliver, and expand services with confidence. These partnerships strengthen our ability to respond to emerging needs while creating measurable impact locally and nationally.
Strategic partners work with us in a deeper, more collaborative way. This approach opens the door to meaningful opportunities such as:
- Employee engagement – volunteering days and skills‑based volunteering. Learn more about corporate volunteering HERE
- Storytelling and shared visibility – co‑developed impact stories, case studies, and communications
- Programme development – support specific services and collaborate with us to create solutions that address key community needs
- Measuring results over time – impact reports and recognition of what we've achieved together
Transform lives by helping students overcome financial barriers and achieve their potential.
- Sponsor an Education Bursary Fund – and name it after your company if you wish
- Support students in your region – or in any region in Ireland – covering expenses such as accommodation, food, books, IT resources, and other essentials not met by grants or personal finances
Support a one‑off or short‑term project that delivers immediate impact.
Examples of the types of projects your company may support include:
- Capital improvements – refurbishment, beautification, or upgrades within our Resource Centres or social housing units
- Technology upgrades – IT equipment to help individuals and families access digital learning, complete homework, and build skills for future careers
- New equipment or vehicles – resources that support and improve our services, including meals on wheels and food bank operations
- In‑kind donations – contribute essential goods or materials that help sustain our services and daily work
- Marketing support – sponsored advertising, in‑kind promotional opportunities, and specialist marketing expertise to help extend our reach and maximise impact
These examples highlight just some of the possibilities that may be available, though opportunities depend on current needs and vary over time. If you are interested in supporting a special project, we will work with you to explore the options and aim to find a project that aligns with your budget or ‘in‑kind’ offer.
