social venture partners calgary 2002/03 annual report...

Planting the seed

The seeds we planted for Social Venture Partners Calgary three yearsago are beginning to take root. While there are definitely things weneed to improve upon, we have an impressive and growing list ofsuccesses. Most importantly, we’re definitely making an impact onthe lives of our Partners and our Investees.

Our partnership remains stable at over 60 Partners, which translatesto over 100 people directly involved. A huge vote of confidence inSVP Calgary was witnessed this year, when the majority of Partnersrenewed beyond their two-year minimum commitment.

The way we work with Investees has matured, and we’re gettingmore rigorous about setting objectives and working to meet them ina structured way. To ensure that our Partners’ resources meet theneeds of our Investees, we decided this year to slow down our grantcycle to one cycle per year.

We’ve recently welcomed a new Program Manager, Cammie Kaulback,who is already making a difference in the work we do. Our thanks toDiane Robinson for getting us off the ground.

We wish the best to both of the Executive Directors of our foundingInvestees who are off pursuing new paths. Lorraine Melchior retiredin September from Calgary Urban Project Society, and Pamela Scottis leaving Calgary Community Support for Young Parents for anew position.

We’ve now invested over $600,000 in eight Investees. Over 60% ofour Partners are actively involved, contributing thousands of hours.And as you’ll see from some of the stories in our annual report,our progress is being noted by many. Thanks for your involvement.

Social Venture Partners Calgary2002/03 Annual Report34

A new approachSocial Venture Partners Calgary is on a mission to catalyze

significant, long-term positive social change in the

community through a unique approach. We are not only

increasing the capacity of our Investees by investing the

money, resources and time of our Partners, but we are

working to educate our Partners to become well-informed,

effective and engaged philanthropists.

Seeds of change34

“The best thing about SVP Calgary has been

observing the light bulbs go on in people's

heads. We've seen Partners realize that

their actions can actually make the

world a better place.”

– Dawn Loucks, Partner

Royalty takes noteSVP Calgary continues to get confirmation of the importance of its work. HerExcellency, the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, Governor General of Canada,and His Excellency John Ralston Saul, requested a visit in March with a fewSVP Calgary Partners to better understand our model. As part of their SVP experience,they also met with CUPS and Calgary Bridge.

Their Excellencies had heard about us and wanted to better understand our thoughtson how to improve civic engagement. In particular, they were interested to hear fromPartners of SVP Calgary about ways to get new people involved in philanthropy andtheir communities and what the issues are in our community.

It was quite an experience, and the benefits are continuing – the Governor Generalhas mentioned SVP Calgary in speeches since her visit, and her office has ongoingcontact with us. We recognized the interest of their Excellencies by making themHonourary Partners of SVP Calgary.

All eyes on Calgary 34

Power of SVP soars at International conferenceWith 1800 Partners, 23 affiliates and $9 million U.S. invested in 120 Investees,Social Venture Partners has become quite a force in the world of philanthropy.Our learning and work is hardly done, and that’s exactly what attendees ofSVP International’s third annual conference got together to discuss in CalgaryMay 30 to June 1.

There were 136 attendees from across North America at the seminars andworkshops led by Partners and staff over the three-day event. Noted philanthropistTracy Gary shared her life’s work inspiring philanthropists, and Boston College’sSocial Welfare Research Institute’s Paul Schervish provided insight into his latestresearch on wealth transfer and what motivates the wealthy. A highlight was theparticipation of Paul Brainerd, founder and former president of Aldus Corporation,and the founder of the SVP model. He participated throughout the conferenceand joined a panel with Brad Zumwalt discussing why he decided to invest in theSVP model.

Serious work wasn’t the only thing on the agenda, though. Attendees got toexperience Heritage Park and Banff.

Mark your calendars for the next SVP International conference, to be held inSan Francisco, October 1 - 2, 2004. The location and timing is set to follow theVenture Philanthropy Summit, a gathering of venture philanthropy groups, includingSVP, from September 30 - October 1.

We would like to recognize the sponsors of the conference: Ambush AdvertisingGroup, BMO Harris Private Banking, Ernst & Young, RBC Investments, SundogPrinting, The Calgary Foundation and The Kahanoff Foundation.

Special event 34

In June, Calgary lost one of its visionaries, and so too did Social VenturePartners Calgary.

Philanthropist John R. (Jack) MacKenzie was a quiet, distinguished man withtremendous integrity. While his philanthropic efforts have mostly been ‘underthe radar’, you can bet that his influence never was.

While in Phoenix, MacKenzie read about SVP’s start-up in Seattle. Anexperienced philanthropist, he immediately saw the benefit of the venturephilanthropy approach. He encouraged The Calgary Foundation to look intothe model and to start an SVP in Calgary. At the same time, Brad and TanyaZumwalt were exploring SVP Calgary’s start-up. With MacKenzie’s seal ofapproval and funding from his Marigold Foundation, SVP Calgary had thesupport it needed to get off the ground.

MacKenzie also helped initiate SVP Arizona where he and his wife Sheilawere founding partners.

Plans are underway to recognize MacKenzie’s contributions through anannual award given at the SVP International conference. The award willrecognize the SVP Partner who best illustrates MacKenzie’s vision forstrategic and impactful philanthropy.

Our condolences to everyone in the MacKenzie family and fellow PartnersDon and Karen MacKenzie in the loss of their father and father-in-law.

Tribute to Jack MacKenzie1919 - 200334

“Jack MacKenzie was an outstanding teacher

and human being. His approach to strategic

philanthropy was deeply inspirational. If each

one of us gave even 10% of what Jack

contributed in thought and energy to

making this city a better place, how truly

wonderful it would be for all.”

– Brad Zumwalt

Rating ourselves:Organizational Capacity Assessment Tool

How is SVP Calgary doing? As is typical of volunteer-driven organizations, we are great in some areas,and not so great in others. That was the consensus at SVP Calgary’s annual strategic planning session.Board members, Lead Partners, committee members and Partners attended the one-day event April 3.

We rated ourselves in eight key areas using our own Organizational Capacity Assessment tool we useto evaluate our Investees. As you can see, there’s work to be done, and the discussions held at thestrategic planning session will be used to drive Board objectives and committee work.

Outcome Evaluation and Performance Evaluation D

“If I ever had to go through our SVPCalgary hiring process, I would neverhave gotten a job anywhere,” laughsSVP Calgary partner Ted Alexander,explaining the absolute rigour theselection committee used in hiring ournew Program Manager.

For someone who is now retired butenjoyed tremendous career success,that’s saying something about theprocess which committee co-chairsGlenn Street and Lee KavanaughWaterman put together.

“To be responsible to the partnership,we wanted a very tight process,” saysLee. “Program Manager is our only

staff person, so there was a lot of pressure to make sure we had a rigorous processthat would find the best person. When Camilla Kaulback came along, I knew theprocess was working!” shares Lee.

“Her experience with the Separate School Board, putting schools and businessestogether, was very similar to the work we needed here at SVP Calgary,” said Glenn.

‘Cammie’ Kaulback started in June part time, and began full time in July. Her firstpriority: meeting every single Partner.

“I want to make sure Partners feel connected to SVP Calgary,” says Cammie. “You’vestarted something precious here. I hope to work with every Partner to help find theirown unique way to be involved and realize the impact of their work in the community.”

Cammie says she had long been interested in engaged philanthropy. When the SVPCalgary job came up, she knew it would be a unique opportunity to work with agroup of special people and support a number of not-for-profits.

“I was impressed with how serious the hiring committee was about finding the rightperson for the job,” shares Cammie. “Their thoroughness encouraged me to continuepursuing the job and the offer of employment was delivered with such enthusiasmthat I knew they were really interested in having me come aboard.”

Cammie has returned to the workforce after a maternity leave, and work placeflexibility was critical, something our organization supports. A lawyer by training,Cammie transitioned her career to the Separate School Board where in one of herroles she initiated and managed a partnership program between schools and thebusiness community.

Fresh face, fresh perspectives 34

Cammie Kaulback

Eight Investees and growingOur modest beginnings in November 2000 have translated

to significant support in the charitable community. We have

now made 16 investments in our eight not-for-profits

totalling over $600,000 and thousands of volunteer hours.

Our relationships with these Investees are maturing, and

together we’re strengthening organizational capacity and

influencing positive social change.

Beginning to blossom34

“Not-for-profits desperately need the

longer-term, sustainability-focused support

offered by SVP Calgary to help them maximize

their ability to address community needs.

The engaged philanthropy as practiced by

SVP Calgary is helping our agency to be more

effective and more efficient as an

agent of social change.”

Portfolio Review Committee: Making sure ourinvestments meet expectationsThe Portfolio Review committee reviewed applications this year from six of ourInvestees: Calgary Bridge, Calgary Community Support for Young Parents, CalgaryReads, CUPS’ One World, Hera and Servants Anonymous. In all cases, funding wasextended for another year for total additional grants of $215,000.

The Portfolio Review committee has also committed to working to streamline theprocess of grant renewal and capacity building within the Investees in an effort toreduce time and effort spent on non-productive paper management.

Social Enterprise: Innovating sustainabilityWhen we contribute to building the organizational capacity of our Investees,our SVP model is succeeding. And an innovative way we’re contributing to this forour Investees is through social enterprise.

Our Social Enterprise committee worked hard this past year with one of our Investees,Calgary Community Support for Young Parents, to identify opportunities for socialenterprise, write a business case for it and get it approved for further work. OtherInvestees participated in some of the discussion, and everyone benefited from asession facilitated by Richard Steckel, a well known leader in social enterprise fromthe U.S.

Technology: Moving us forwardA web of technology experts within the Partnership form the Technology committee.This group is dedicated to helping Investees help themselves in four main areas:network and software setup; fund raising and internal databases; Internet andmarketing assistance; and, software training.
