What does it mean to give through the Valley Community Foundation?

• Donors have additional, local, giving options.
• Nonprofits have another funding source in the community and a partner for endowment building.
• Community members benefit from increased philanthropy.

As a community foundation, we build, invest, and distribute an endowment dedicated to improving the quality of life in our community.

As an affiliate of The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, the Valley Community Foundation can assure its donors that their gifts will have the benefit of local oversight while being administered and invested efficiently by one of the nation's oldest and most experienced community foundations.
