Congrats to the SEED20 Class of 2023!
Congratulations to the SEED20 Class of 2023! The ten nonprofit leaders took the stage on Thursday, April 27, and wowed us with their compelling stories of how they are making the greater Charlotte region a better place! The Children’s Theatre of Charlotte was abuzz with excitement and energy as audience members piled in to support our nonprofit community. Awards given out totaled more than $32,000 and so far, we have been able to raise over $50,000 (and climbing), including Wells Fargo’s generous match.
Thank you to our corporate sponsors, cultivators, audience members, and SVP donor volunteers for making it possible to bring SEED20 back to the stage this year! Because of your support, over $82,000 (a new record for SEED20!) has been invested in nonprofit innovators addressing tough social challenges in the Charlotte region!
You can still support the Class of 2023 beyond the stage! Please consider engaging with our Class of 2023 nonprofits in any way your resources allow. Opportunities to get involved include:
- Volunteering with the ten nonprofit organizations.
- Sharing their social media posts to amplify their reach.
- Provide connections from your personal networks.
- Continue to make financial donations to these organizations via our Pledge page, which will be open for another month. Note: service charges are not charged for donations under $1,000 and tip can be reduced to 0.
- Lastly, help us with the next SEED20 by joining Social Venture Partners Charlotte!
