Our Mission
To fuel healing and compassion for a better world.
Through grantmaking, partnerships, financial and philanthropic services we are the North Valley’s hub for social change. We help individuals, families, businesses and nonprofits maximize their impact on the local and global community.
There have been some incredible people who have jumped in to help (after the Camp Fire) and it starts, in my opinion, with the North Valley Community Foundation -- raising millions of dollars, out there assessing the needs of our communities in real time and finding the best places to help.
