Giving today to shape tomorrow.
At the Community Foundation of the New River Valley, our mission is to invest in our community, now and for future generations, by encouraging charitable giving, supporting innovative programs, and nurturing collaboration.
The Fund for the NRV provides support for both immediate and long-term initiatives that CONNECT individuals and organizations working toward common goals, INSPIRE innovative solutions that address the root causes of our community’s most pressing needs, and EMPOWER nonprofit organizations to become leaders in overcoming community challenges of all kinds. The Fund for the NRV supports CFNRV grant programs and administrative services for these four initiatives:
This initiative aims to better understand and support early childhood education and development efforts in order to improve the physical, emotional, and social well-being of NRV children and families.
This initiative draws together residents, service providers, government officials and developers to encourage lifespan friendly homes, neighborhoods, and services.
This initiative aims to offer a comprehensive curriculum and forums for information sharing that build the skills and capacity of nonprofit leaders.
