Why supporters choose SVA

As a small family foundation, we don’t have the resources to do the due diligence or research on organisations that have the potential to make big change in this area. SVA has that, and over the 15 years we have known and partnered with SVA, we have developed a sense of alignment in the nature of the projects that we value and support. The Magnolia Foundation seeks to improve the wellbeing of refugees and First Nations people. We look for opportunities like ImpactEd which will empower and give agency to people so that they may self-determine the right solutions for them. We strongly believe that one of the best ways to assist in the creation of empowerment and agency is through education.” Magnolia Foundation •

Philanthropy can be well placed to innovate and break new ground where others often cannot or will not – it’s these actions that help ensure impact is broad, deep and enduring. SVA knows far better than we do where that money needs to go to take the risks we need to take to create substantial change.” Nick Edgerton • Stewart Investors
