St. Vincent de Paul makes it easy to get involved.
Our corporate partners are special: They are dedicated to making Arizona a better place through a shared commitment to our neighbors in need.
While our goals may be the same, we recognize that each corporate partner has different needs. That’s why we tailor unique engagements that speak to an organization’s social responsibility platform, its employees and leadership teams.
Ways to Get Involved
Philanthropy from key for-profit partners is an important means of operational sustainability for any nonprofit. On average, corporate partners account for roughly 11% of SVdP’s annual revenue. We invite you to review our financial health, capacity and sustainability plans below and consider adding us to your annual budget.

All are welcome to join our mission of feeding, clothing, housing and healing our neighbors in need. Come in small groups, large groups, individually, and even virtually. We are eager to work with your organization to collectively meet the needs of our community. Volunteers like you make up 95% of our workforce.
Corporate partners are in a great position to help our community in need. Hosting an in-kind donation drive will not only support our mission, but will build comradery among your staff. When you host a donation drive, you have the ability to encourage your co-works to give, participate in employer/employee match programs and engage with your client base to be a part of your giving. Consider hosting drives in the summer and winter to support the programs of your choice: food, water, shoes, clothing, backpacks, blankets, toys. You name it – our team will support you every step of the way. Starting with delivering donation boxes and sharing a wish list of our most needed items. Will you join us today?
A Thousand Thanks to all of our partners for their ongoing support and service!

Charles Schwab Foundation: A Partner We Can Count On
Charles Schwab Foundation has been a trusted SVdP partner for many years. It has what is known as Charles Schwab Volunteer Week, when about 100 employees descend upon SVdP’s main campus in South Phoenix for a full 2 weeks to volunteer across various programs. At the onset of COVID in March/April 2020, when we lost our volunteers overnight, Charles Schwab Foundation swooped in to offer its commercial kitchen. They prepared almost 50,000 sandwiches, helping us get through an incredibly challenging time and ensuring meals for our food-insecure community. Charles Schwab Foundation consistently donates between $30,000 and $50,000 each year, and supports several programmatic areas, including dining rooms, our Dream Center after-school program for at-risk kids, and financial literacy. Thank you, Charles Schwab Foundation!
Sagicor Life Insurance Co. Saves the Day … and Then Some
Sagicor Life Insurance Company started a relationship with SVdP during a volunteer project several years ago and today is a ‘Golden 3’ partner. It held a food drive at its Scottsdale location and, showing true innovation, Sagicor made it easy for employees to donate food items while driving through the employee parking garage (a total of 800 lbs of food!). When Sagicor’s leadership team took its first tour of the SVdP campus in South Phoenix, they were so moved they presented us with a generous check. In 2021 they saved the day of one of our turnkey holiday programs that supports at-risk kids during the holidays by becoming the title sponsor and stepping up with a gift of $25,000 at a time when it was close to being cancelled. We are so proud to have Sagicor as a ‘Golden 3’ member of the SVdP family!
