Desert Valleys Employee Foundation

We are proud to announce we have delivered our 1st Quake Relief Grant this afternoon. Thanks to our credit union partners, we have begun to bring some much needed support.

Our grant program is now open for applications to be submitted. We are setting the current grant maximum to $1,500 but we encourage applicants to give us as much info as possible. The form can be found at: https://bit.ly/2yez1Z9

On July 5th, our community was torn open by a 7.1 Earthquake. In the days following the quake, our foundation engaged with credit unions and credit union leaders nationwide. As a result of this collaborative effort, we have committed funds of more than $53,000 to begin supporting re-building efforts. We will be adding the grant application to the next post but wanted to take a moment and extend our deep appreciation to some of our credit union partners. Our two most significa...nt contributors were both incredibly generous! Huge thanks to the members of Navy Federal Credit Union and Kern Schools Federal Credit Union. We have groups who are still raising funds for the fund like Delta Schools Federal Credit Union and Kinecta. We have had groups and vendors like California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues, Share One, Inc., and CO-OP Financial Services join in our efforts. Finally, we have incredible individuals like Betty Percifield, Richard Walter, and Lea Spagarino contribute. See more
