Community Philanthropy

The Valley County Community Foundation Fund is dedicated to the improvement and long-term viability of our community.

The Valley County Community Foundation Fund encourages people from all walks of life to give back to their community by providing a full range of gifting opportunities. A volunteer Fund Advisory Committee actively works to increase charitable giving, create impactful programming and award grants to valuable projects and organizations that are addressing the emerging needs and future opportunities in our community.

Creating a Legacy...

With an Unrestricted Endowment

The VCCFF’s Vibrant Future Fund, an unrestricted endowment, is a powerful, permanent legacy. It holds a lasting impact in Valley County beyond current generations. Gifts to an endowment not only last forever, while VCCFF grants earnings from investment returns to support worthy projects throughout Valley County. 

As one Fund donor describes it, “Giving to an endowment is like contributing to an insurance policy for the future of our community.”

By contributing to the endowment, a donor will help the community address pressing issues as they arise and capitalize on opportunities for community growth and improvement as they occur.
