At North Valley Community Foundation, our clients come to us seeking a way to heal a hurt or fill a need they see in our world. When they walk through the doors the first question we ask is, "What's on your heart?" From there we start problem solving with paint brushes, crayons and innovation — the ingredients that NVCF President and CEO Alexa Benson-Valavanis say make up humanitarian work.
