SVA is holding its annual dinner in Melbourne on 20 July 2006 called SVA Illuminate. It will be a sparkling night of comedy and cabaret featuring outstanding stand-up comic LAWRENCE MOONEY and brilliant ROBBIE WILLIAMS impersonator Louie Lee Feltren.

This year SVA will showcase the social firm. With increased focus on mental illness in Australia, the social firm is a real business with both social and economic objectives. It provides employment to people with a mental illness or other disadvantage in a supportive integrated working environment. The social firm is a living demonstration of the commercial and social sectors coming together to create an innovative solution for those furthest from the job market.

SVA Illuminate promises to be a great opportunity to entertain colleagues and clients, with a night of fun and fine dining as well as inspiring stories as we shine a light on some of SVA’s ventures. Tables of 10 are $5,200 ($3,000 is a tax deductible as a donation) which includes a fabulous 3 course dinner and beverages. Limited individual tickets are also available. All funds raised go towards supporting our work with innovative social ventures as we continue to help create sustainable social change.

Social Ventures Australia (SVA) is a national venture philanthropy organisation that provides financial and strategic resources to social entrepreneurs to help grow their programs to create sustainable social change. SVA leverages the best practices of the business world with the passion of engaged philanthropy to support these vital members of society who are focused on finding new solutions to issues in areas such as youth education, indigenous, social enterprise and the environment. SVA does this through providing funding, mentoring and tools that are tied to achieving tangible, socially-based results. This has ultimately raised the bar for social investment in Australia.
