Who are we?
The Valley Foundation, founded in 1991 as a non-profit community
foundation, focuses its philanthropy solely on the Santa Ynez
Valley and Los Alamos. A
board of nine directors who represent the different communities within the
valleys, governs the Foundation and administers funds contributed by individuals
and businesses. These funds provide grants to local non-profit organizations
that work to improve the quality of life for all who live in the Santa Ynez
Valley and Los Alamos.
