Newsletter Submission Policy
General Submission Policy
The SVN monthly newsletter serves as a premier platform to showcase member and partner updates, events, and opportunities to our engaged community of over 20,000 subscribers. This exclusive benefit is reserved for SVN members and official community partners only.
All content must advance SVN's core mission of connecting, supporting, and inspiring business leaders and social entrepreneurs who are expanding practices that build a just and sustainable economy.
Submission Requirements for Both Members and Community Partners
Submissions will be accepted from SVN members or partners
All submissions must be made through our dedicated forms:
Content must be relevant to the SVN community and its mission as outlined above
Submissions are limited to one per member/partner per month
While we welcome regular contributions, we strive to feature diverse voices in each edition. Members and partners who have been recently featured may have their submissions scheduled for future newsletters to create space for those who haven't yet had the opportunity to share.
Submissions sent by email or outside the provided forms will not be considered
If you believe the current forms do not accommodate your submission type, please email support@svn.org to suggest a new form or revisions to existing forms
Publishing Schedule
Submission deadline: 10th of each month
