Grants from donor advised funds are made with the participation of the donors, after review by VCF. Grants from designated Funds are made to meet the charitable interests expressed by organizations or individual donors. VCF also holds endowment funds dedicated to providing financial assistance to students for secondary, college, and graduate school education.
The Valley Community Foundation also works with The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven in making investments in this community and is building flexible Funds for additional grantmaking.
