Founding partners Tim Jackson and Jacqui Murphy launched SVP Waterloo Region earlier this year with the support of SVPI and The Kitchener and Waterloo Community Foundation. Jackson and Murphy are partners at venture capital firm, Tech Capital Partners. Known globally for its high tech industry, Waterloo Region is home to global leading technology businesses like Research in Motion (RIM), Christie Digital and Open Text. SVP Waterloo Region believes the area is also rich with budding philanthropists.
SVP “partners” are individuals who combine financial contributions and professional skills with a passion for philanthropy. By leveraging their collective expertise and resources, SVP partners work to increase the effectiveness and reach of local nonprofits, which in turn helps those organizations better serve their communities.
