We invite you to grab a beverage and join us for two virtual happy hour events this month!  

• July 7th is our Partnership Virtual Happy Hour on Equity. Not only will this give you the opportunity to reconnect with other Partners, but you will learn more about SVP Portland’s commitment to equity. Hosted by Equity Chair Bala Cadambi, we will focus on how racial equity is central to our goal to become an anti-racist organization, and ensure access to culturally-relevant preschool for all of Portland’s children—​regardless of ethnicity, wealth, religion, gender, or zip code. 

• July 22nd is our SVP Portland Partner & Fellow Panel, led by Partners Larry Fox and Kelly Starkey. Through their eyes, you will hear stories about how SVP serves as a trusted partner to community-based organizations, and inspires philanthropists to engage. Whether you are a new or long-time Partner or Encore Fellow, you will come away having learned something new!

If you have any questions about either event, please reply to this email and I’ll get right back to you. 

Please RSVP here for July 7th and here for July 22nd. I look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely, 
Matt Little, Director of Investor Partnerships
