We exist to put your ideas into action.
NVCF offers a variety of giving tools to help you meet your charitable goals. Find out how easy it is to get started!
Personalized Service
We make giving easy and effective, accepting a wide variety of gifts and providing donors a number of charitable options. You can contribute cash, stocks, property, and bequests. You may establish a fund in your name or in the name of a loved one. In most cases, your gift will qualify for maximum tax advantage under federal law.
Local Expertise
Our professional staff has an in-depth understanding of the issues, opportunities, and resources that shape our community. We monitor all areas of community need—including human services, education, the environment, healthcare, the arts, and economic development. We can help you learn more about local organizations and programs that make a difference in areas you care about most.
Community Leadership
We invest in the long-term and bring people and organizations together, convening diverse voices to address local issues and opportunities. Our business is building community so that together we can be the change.
"We are deeply connected to the people of Mexico, not only as our country's neighbors, but also as our brothers and sisters, our dear friends and colleagues. We mourn with you. We pray with you. We will be here for you in all the ways we can. We have established a fund to help with the emergency relief effort after yesterday's deadly earthquake. 100% of all donations will go directly to work on the ground. One hundred percent and all of our prayers."
— Alexa Benson-Valavanis, President and CEO, North Valley Community Foundation
