Social Venture Partners (SVP)

CRA has been a corporate partner with Social Venture Partners – Boston for several years enabling multiple CRA staff to work on pro bono consulting engagements with Boston area non-profit organizations engaged in “serving the underserved” on issues such as education, food insecurity, homelessness, and criminal justice. We have been involved in working with SVP grantees including Leadership Brainery (addressing inequitable access to graduate school and workforce leadership opportunities for underrepresented talent), with an initiative to develop a five year strategic plan; and Empowered and Dedicated to Edify the Nation (EDEN) (working with families experiencing homelessness) to assist EDEN with its grant writing process as part of efforts to secure state-backed funding.
