We recommend that all Partners make a $6000 annual donation. The minimum allowed is $1500/yr. There are lots of ways to make this donation. You can donate online and even set up a monthly recurring donation. It may also be advantagous to you to donate via stock transfer or through your IRA. Also, SVP has an endowment fund should you wish to include SVP in your estate plans.
Thank you for your interest in joining SVP.
