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.

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. You can read more about Corporate volunteering HERE
- Storytelling and shared visibility – co‑developed impact stories, case studies, and communications
- Programme development – supporting specific services and co‑creating solutions that address key community needs
- Long‑term impact measurement – tracking outcomes together, reporting on progress, and celebrating shared achievements
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, visible impact and directly benefits local communities.
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.
