The Greater Green Valley Community Foundation (GGVCF) is dedicated to improving the quality of life in communities in the Green Valley area. We focus on older adults, healthcare, children, housing education, the environment and rural living.

Building a Community

The Greater Green Valley Community Foundation was established in 1998 to serve local residents and organizations. Our goal is to build community now and for many years to come by bringing people and organizations together around local issues and opportunities.

The GGVCF has an endowment which includes both unrestricted and field of interest funds. Our local board and staff have an in-depth understanding of the concerns and resources that shape our community, and we are dedicated to continue building this permanent endowment or savings account to serve the Green Valley areas long-term needs.Through local grantmaking, the Greater Green Valley Community Foundation provides financial support to our communitys nonprofit organizations. We also provide technical assistance and training to encourage these local community organizations to grow and extend their reach.

For Donors

We can help you learn more about local agencies and programs where your charitable gifts can make a difference in areas you care about most, and we can suggest easy, flexible ways to give. You may chose to give to a fund that already exists, or you may want to create a new fund in your name or the name of a loved one.

Your gift may be unrestricted to be used where it is needed most or you may select a field of interest or a specific organization to benefit from your generosity. In every case, your gift to the Greater Green Valley Community Foundation not only helps the community, but you also receive maximum charitable tax advantages.
