SEED20 OnStage 2026 was a Huge Success!
Last night, on March 31st, the greater Charlotte community came together to be inspired by and celebrate the work being done in our midst by our nonprofit heroes. Ten organizations took the stage for their well-rehearsed, passionate, 3-minute pitch to tell their story, each grounded in real challenges and a real commitment to their communities.
Behind what happened last night were teams of dedicated SVP Partners, coaches, volunteers, and supporters, all putting in many months of preparation. To them we owe depths of gratitude.

🌱 Amplifying their reach by sharing social media posts.

🌱 Continuing to make financial contributions to these organizations via our SEED20 donation page, open until April 30. (Note: donations $1,000 and under are not subject to service charges and tips can be reduced to $0.)
SVP Charlotte wants to thank our community members for attending or streaming SEED20 OnStage, our many generous sponsors for financially supporting this program and our staff, coaches, and volunteers for putting together a night that inspired us all!
