Impacting the Valley
Together, we are like colorful threads woven into a beautiful tapestry. It is undeniable that we are all connected and what happens to the least of us, happens to all of us.
One of the most effective ways the Valley Community Foundation (VCF) impacts the Valley is through grant distribution to qualified organizations from unrestricted, preference or field of interest, Donor Advised, and designated funds that carry out donor charitable intentions, respond to needs, and anticipate community opportunities.
