SVPRI is actively helping to strengthen the RI community. Working with other leading stakeholders in academia, business, government and philanthropy, SVPRI partners define, develop and coordinate statewide programs to build stronger, sustainable non-profits. Our programs include:

• Social Enterprise Summit Series – a forum of statewide leaders – and national experts – to help RI continue to be a state in which social enterprise flourishes.
• Social Venture Investment Fund – an investment fund to help RI social entrepreneurs build enterprises
• SVP-University (SVP-U) – a social enterprise business plan competition for RI college and university students
• Training Programs – SVPRI staff and partners regularly conduct training programs on social enterprise. Contact Kelly Ramirez,kelly@svpri.org,for more information.
