In 2003, BCT SVP was approached by a group with a vision to help improve employment in the Downtown Eastside (DTES). Requesting the help of BCT SVP to conceive and implement a business model, their vision was threefold.
BCT SVP Todd Carter has been instrumental in assiting Tradeworks to market "Tradeworks Custom Products", a social enterprise focused on developing small wood products while providing training and employment for marginalized women in the Downtown Eastside.
Social Venture Partners is a network of philanthropic business leaders in the Vancouver community.
We are pleased to announce that Glen Lougheed has joined the SVP family. May of you already know Glen from his days with Potluck Cafe Society.
Congratulations to Children of the Streets (COTS) for becoming the newest Grantee in the BCT SVP portfolio.
