Success was tremendous for the first year for Annie B’s Community Drive.

More than 2200 local individuals and businesses made donations to 127 participating organizations, totaling $889,000 in donations.

NVCF has already secured the first $50,000 of this year’s grant pool. We are now recruiting local businesses and individuals, who are champions of giving and community, to help us reach our grant pool of $200,000.
