Combining the power of business with the passion of giving SVP is about people, people who want to give back to their community, but who want to do more than just write checks. SVP reflects an even mix of men and women, a broad range of ages, and a wide array of personal and professional backgrounds. Finding a measurable way to make a difference in the community is not easy. Often when you donate to charitable organizations, you wonder where your contribution will end up and what the results will be. Many Clevelanders want to learn more about charitable needs in the community but

We have joined SVP to be part of a group that offers: A community of like-minded peers Hands-on opportunities to learn and grow Pooled resources that maximize our contributions: money + time + skills The opportunity to apply our professional talents and skills A chance to really give back. REALLY give back! How is SVP different? SVP means more than money for the organizations to which we make grants. Using elements from the venture capital field, SVP maximizes the intellectual capital, expertise, and pooled funds of all of our individual partners. We make multi-year investments to strengthen infrastructure on nonprofits. When we are successful, we help them change the trajectory of their organizations to go beyond sustainability --- to thrive!

IMPACT WITH INVESTEES – Current Investees MedWish repurposes medical supplies and equipment discarded by the healthcare industry to provide humanitarian aid in developing countries to save lives and to reduce waste to save our environment.

Interim Executive Director: Ann Affolter SVP Lead Partner: Dick Cahoon First Engagement Year: 2011 Total impact as of December 31, 2013:

Value of volunteer hours from partners and friends $66,600

$ 5,400

SVP direct financial contributions (grants awarded) $45,000

Indirect contributions because of introduction by SVP $18,820

Projected operational impact from SVP-supported projects/initiatives TBD

SVP grant was leveraged 302% $135,820

Strengthening MedWish Projects:

Organizational Design & Development - develop leadership and staff capabilities and succession planning

Inventory Management

Board Governance and Development

Develop capacity to scale impact

Results and Accomplishments:

Use of SVP grants: o 2011: expedite inventory flow and warehouse improvements o 2012: EMT training for warehouse manager to expand knowledge of medical supplies and equipment o 2012: partial cost of Bridge Builders program for marketing and communications manager o 2012: partial costs of executive director search o 2013: create sustainable financial model

New annual review process includes peer feedback; staff participation in strategic planning connected staff with board members and led to greater ownership. Only two of eleven staff left in 2012.

RFP developed; vendor selected to create industry-leading inventory management system making MW first medical supply redistribution organization (MSRO) to implement such a specialized, intricate system. MW owns software code with potential sale to other MSROs for revenue generation.

Changes in warehouse floor plan and procedure resulted in faster sort time, quicker ability to redistribute aid, less trash, and higher level of satisfaction from end recipient based on monthly dashboard data.

MedWish nominated by SVP and accepted as one of 30 investees network-wide to participate in the 2012 SVP conference workshop, Scaling Impact.

ED completed Executive Coaching class at CWRU Weatherhead School of Business and strengthened overall skills.

Volunteer Partners and Friends of SVP and their Key Contributions Following Organizational Capacity Assessment by board and staff, Dick Cahoon examined shared visions to put all

stakeholders on same page regarding mission and growth.

Dave Bischel (Dick’s colleague from Dealer Tire) worked with MW to create system audit to understand current inventory management. He created RFP to various inventory management firms.

With Dick’s assistance, staff changed warehouse floor plan and implemented procedures to increase efficiency. 1. Created three shipping bays for container shipments to expedite loading and reduce chance of losing product 2. Created a “triage” for donated supplies to expedite sort time, vastly increasing turn-around time

Pam Conover and Chris Renner did an assessment of volunteer management.

Marcia Levine conducted preliminary assessment of board governance policies and developed a timeline to implement best practices.
