Each year, SVP Dallas gathers the community at our Spring Social, a champagne brunch honoring the people, partnerships, and purpose advancing social impact in North Texas. We unite with community focus, deepened relationships, and celebrated work.

Our Impact Awards reflect on the progress we have made, recognize the changemakers moving our region forward, and plant the seeds of future impact across Dallas.


This spirited mixer uplifts community leaders, organizations, and individuals driving meaningful change across North Texas. We span sectors, spark collaboration, strengthen trust, and build momentum around vibrant tables to increase measurable results.

With our Partner network growing deep roots across the region, the energy behind our mission is real, and the opportunity for change is now. SVP Dallas thanks our Spring Social Impact Awards attendees, sponsors, leaders and Partners advancing social impact in Dallas.
