Our Mission
To engage creative donors and community partners in grassroots philanthropy via radical collaboration.

From partnering with Facebook to fund nonprofits to an awards program for innovative ideas, our community initiatives benefit from our grassroots giving expertise.

In an effort to address inequalities in public education and build future generations of strong leaders, PVF provides small but critically needed grants to individual classrooms.

PVF is known for creating customized giving opportunities, in which we match a donor’s giving interest with an innovative program that we have either designed or identified for the donor.
