“The simplicity and ease of utilizing CFHV…for the benefit of the many in need in our community makes this a ‘no-brainer’!” —Deacon Bill Mennenga
OUR MISSION
CFHV makes it easy for individuals, businesses, and organizations to establish and administer funds that support vital causes. Through strategic philanthropy and leadership, we celebrate and inspire local charitable giving and civic engagement.
HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
The Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley (CFHV) works to build a prosperous, equitable, inclusive Hudson Valley with vibrant communities where all can live, work, and thrive. We help individuals, businesses, and organizations establish and invest funds to support the causes they care about. We make it easy for anyone to establish a charitable fund and streamline the impact of their generosity.
For example, CFHV and its supporters donated more than $3 million to area nonprofits in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with $800,000 helping to feed families in need.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
We invite you to support these critical needs in our community:
The Farm Fresh Food Fund provides local produce and fresh food to those who need it most.
Our Greatest Needs Fund responds to local emerging needs.
The Fund for the Hudson Valley provides support for our community today and in the future.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We are governed by a Board of Trustees with local leaders in business and philanthropy. Each trustee is dedicated to serving the Hudson Valley region by targeting meaningful investments to meet community needs. The Foundations also convenes local advisory committees in Dutchess, Putnam, and Ulster counties.
