A Practical, Community-Centered Path to Growth

GrowFundMe is designed for small, BIPOC-led nonprofits ready to strengthen their fundraising and storytelling.

The program blends focused workshops, peer learning, and one-on-one support so nonprofit leaders build tools they can use right away. An onboarding assessment shapes each organization's path, pairing them with the right mentors and guidance for where they actually are.

Participants sharpen their fundraising story and gain the confidence to talk about their work with clarity and impact. The experience culminates at SVP Seattle's annual Partner event, where cohort members share their work and mobilize new funding and connections.
