The Imperial Valley Funders Collaborative brings together funders committed to strengthening rural communities, with a focus on increasing investment in Imperial County.
In its inaugural year, the focus of this collaborative is to build a network of funders dedicated to understanding and supporting Imperial County. Through collaboration and coordination, we aim to encourage state and national funders to engage in county-wide learning and explore how funding can be leveraged to support local needs.
The Imperial Valley Funder Collaborative focuses on identifying systemic solutions, facilitating connections between funders and nonprofits, and deepening our understanding of the region’s funding landscape to find the most effective ways to channel resources into the community. While celebrating the diversity of Imperial’s communities, we seek to elevate the work already being done in the region by both informal, community-based organizations and established nonprofits. Through quarterly meetings, we examine key issues, funding trends, and opportunities to engage with local leaders and funders.
