THANK YOU TO OUR 2022 DONORS

Through the power of working together, our generous donors make it possible for the CFNRV to support dozens of students and nonprofit organizations in our region each year. Since awarding our first $500 grant in 1997, our donors have helped us to award over $7.5 million in these grants and scholarships. Our work flourishes because of our donors’ passion and support, and we appreciate each of you so much.
