Central Valley Community Foundation

What Central Valley Community Foundation does

Central Valley Community Foundation (CVCF) is a 501(c)(3) community foundation headquartered in Fresno, California, founded in 1966 (originally as Fresno Regional Foundation) and serving six Central Valley and Central Sierra Nevada counties—Merced, Mariposa, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, and Kings—home to more than 2 million residents. CVCF administers 264+ donor funds across seven fund types (Donor Advised, Agency, Designated Organization, Scholarship, Support Organization, Fiscal Sponsorship, and Field of Interest) and operates a web-based fund management platform powered by ipHiView, with 24/7 donor access for grant recommendations, balance checks, and investment activity review. The Foundation retains SEI for institutional investment management across four investment pools (Long-Term, Short-Term, Social Impact, Low Cost) and supports professional advisors serving high-net-worth clients with philanthropic planning.

CVCF's core revenue model rests on fund management fees of 0.5%-2% annually (tiered by fund balance and liquidity), Friends of the Foundation annual memberships at $2,500-$10,000 across approximately 100 regional leaders, and corporate sponsorships from a 14-member Council of Business Sponsors. Beyond fund administration, CVCF functions as the backbone organization for major regional initiatives including Fresno DRIVE (a 10-year inclusive economic development plan advocating $4.2B in investment through 14 initiatives and 150 partner organizations), the F3 (Farms Food Future) Initiative built on a $65M EDA Build Back Better Regional Challenge grant, the Sierra San Joaquin Jobs (S2J2) initiative funded by California Jobs First, the Central Valley Opportunity Fund (CVOF) for Merced, the PRO Neighborhoods Initiative supported by a $5M JPMorgan Chase Foundation grant, Measure P (generating $1.5B for parks/arts over 30 years), The Big Tell filmmaker grants, and a Health Equity Initiative supported by community health dashboards. Since 2017, CVCF has directly granted $65 million and facilitated more than $200 million in additional regional capital, deployed 900+ grants across the last decade, and administers nearly 240 scholarships annually totaling approximately $3 million since 2017.

Revenue model

1. Charitable Contributions & Grants: The Foundation receives charitable donations from individuals, families, businesses, and other foundations.

• Council on Foundations: National membership association of grantmaking organizations. CVCF is a member; relevant peer not as a competitor but as an industry-body counterpart that sets accreditation standards and connects community foundations nationally.

Broad incumbents

• Fidelity Charitable: Largest commercial donor-advised fund sponsor in the US. Competes for the same donor-advised fund and philanthropic-planning dollars as CVCF, particularly with HNW clients referred by professional advisors, though it operates nationally rather than as a regional community foundation.
• The San Diego Foundation: One of the largest California community foundations by assets, operating donor-advised funds, scholarships, and regional initiatives. Comparable product set and California market, though serving a different region and at significantly larger scale.
