Social Ventures Australia (SVA) invests in social change by helping increase the impact and build the sustainability of those in the social sector.
A non-profit organisation established in 2002 by The Benevolent Society, The Smith Family, WorkVentures and AMP Foundation, SVA provides funding and strategic support to carefully selected non-profit partners. They also offer consulting services to the social sector more broadly, including philanthropists who are endeavouring to be more strategic in their approach to giving.
SVA's investments are primarily focused on education and employment, as they believe these are critical in providing all Australians with the opportunity to realise their full potential. As a non-profit organisation at the forefront of sector development and innovation, SVA works in collaboration with sector partners, as well as government, business, and some of Australia’s leading philanthropists.
