The Foundation is a public charity with the long-range
wellbeing of the Tri-Valley Region as its singular focus. The
Tri-Valley Community Foundation serves the communities of
Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, Sunol, San Ramon, Danville and
Alamo by raising funds to meet vital human needs in our region
and support cultural and educational projects that enrich
community life. The Foundation also "brokers" collaborative
partnerships within our region -- bringing together businesses,
local governments, schools, service agencies, and grassroots
community organizations and leaders -- to identify and address
important and complex needs in our community that cannot be
met by the efforts of a single organization.
OUR MISSION
The Foundation’s mission is to be the regional center of a thriving
local culture of philanthropy that benefits community life in the
Tri-Valley region. We do this by:

respond to the Foundation’s six funding priorities: (1) youth
development and education, (2) strengthening our families,
(3) assisting our seniors, (4) access to healthcare and healthy
living, (5) affordable housing and solutions to homelessness,
and (6) arts and culture.
OUR HISTORY
In the early 1980s, local government and community leaders
across the Tri-Valley Region became concerned that regional and
national fundraising groups were raising millions of dollars from
residents in our communities, but were reinvesting very few of
those dollars locally to help people in need right here in the Tri-
Valley. In response to this concern, business and community
leaders in the Tri-Valley launched the Tri-Valley Community
Fund to help support local public schools and nonprofit
organizations. For 22 years, the Fund distributed millions of
dollars to Tri-Valley schools and nonprofits, fueled by workplace
contributions from employees throughout the Tri-Valley, holiday
giving campaigns, and the generosity of local friends of the Fund.
Then in 2001, members of the Fund’s Board of Directors made a
bold and visionary move. They voted to take the Fund to the next
level by creating a community foundation for the Tri-Valley Region
— the Tri-Valley Community Foundation — a public charitable
foundation for the specific and lasting benefit of our community.
OUR FUTURE
Our Foundation’s future is united with the future of the Tri-
Valley. The Foundation is committed to growing a $50
million endowment for the Tri-Valley Region by 2010 — a
public charitable savings account that will allow the Tri-Valley to
thrive as a community of compassion and to fund its dreams for
the region and its people for years to come. The Foundation’s
permanent endowment campaign is underway, and this campaign
will be the centerpiece of our efforts throughout the decade.
The Foundation also is committed to expanding the reach of three
things we do very well:
individuals and corporations make charitable investments in
the community that are effective and financially smart.
