The Community Fund for Carmel Valley (CFCV) aims to serve residents, businesses, and organizations in Carmel Valley by enabling contributions to the greater good. As an affiliate of the Community Foundation for Monterey County, it leverages administrative, investment, and grantmaking expertise to improve the lives of community members both presently and in the future. Governed by a local advisory board of volunteer community members, its mission centers around oversight, fundraising, setting grantmaking priorities, and awarding grants to achieve substantial local impact.
The Neighborhood Grants Program (NGP) offers financial support ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 to grassroots, resident- and community-led groups in Monterey County. These grants are aimed at projects or series of activities that enhance the quality of life in local neighborhoods. Since its inception in 1997, NGP has distributed over $1 million in grants. The grant program prioritizes projects that address unmet community needs, demonstrate strong leadership and training within the group, involve community members in decision-making processes, and have a significant positive impact on the community.
