Three Valleys Community Foundation (3VCF) Online Donation Portal Transition
Dear Donors and Supporters,
We are excited to announce that our Three Valleys Community Foundation is in the process of upgrading our online donation portal to better serve our community and make the giving process more efficient. As part of this transition, our Donor webpage with individual Fund links is currently unavailable as it is under construction.
During this transition period, from October 1 to October 31, 2024, all donations will need to be directed through one universal donation link. If you are donating to a specific Fund, we kindly ask that you provide clear details about the designated Fund in the comments or notes section of the donation form. This will ensure that your contribution is processed according to your intentions.
We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve our system. Our goal is to make the giving process as seamless as possible, and we are confident that these upgrades will enhance your future experience with us.
If you have any questions or concerns about your online donation during this period, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can email our team at kbowers@3vcf.org, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you for your continued support of Three Valleys Community Foundation and your generosity toward our community causes and region!
Warm regards,
Three Valleys Community Foundation Team

Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
- Select Three Valleys Community Foundation as your DAF transfer recipient / grantee.
- Input donation amount.
- Designate a purpose – ‘Where the Need is Greatest’.
Opening a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) through 3VCF presents an opportunity for you, the donor, to amplify your charitable impact in our Tri-Valley community. As a 501c3 nonprofit, Three Valleys provides an immediate tax deduction via our organization and recommends gifts over an extended period of time. As a fundholder, you then have the opportunity to recommend ‘secondary’ allocations to nonprofits of your choice, either immediately or over time. DAFs are ideal opportunities for individuals who may want to make an immediate charitable contribution, but may not know all of the eventual intended recipients. Three Valleys can help provide a ‘concierge’ approach, working with your specific interests and focus areas to ensure alignment. Gifts can be earmarked in advance over a period of time. Both endowed and non-endowed DAF options are available, with a variety of investment options to help your corpus grow.
3VCF has identified a number of well-qualified investment pools to select from, allowing our donors to align their financial goals, risk tolerance, and planned charitable giving. Three Valleys can also work with you or your financial advisor to accept stocks, fund transfers or even complex gifts like real estate to open up a DAF. We encourage you to reach out to Kelly Bowers at kbowers@3vcf.org for further information and to explore DAF options. We’re happy to talk it through with you!Employer Matching
Employer Matching
Many companies match employee and retiree donations, increasing the impact of your gift. As a tax-exempt 501c3 organization, Three Valleys Community Foundation qualifies for matching gifts. Contact your Human Resources department to see if your employer participates. Thank you for considering a matching gift to amplify your generosity.
