Ways to Give > Unrestricted Gifts

Donors' unrestricted gifts in amounts large and small help PVF continue to be responsive and inventive in our grantmaking to benefit the local community. PVF’s staff have a long track record of identifying critical intervention points in the community where funding — even relatively small grants — can have the greatest impact. In responding to issues and unmet needs, PVF places high trust in outstanding individuals and programs, demonstrates flexibility and creativity in grantmaking, and takes the initiative in providing funding when it is needed.

To provide support to PVF to continue to carry out its community initiatives and creative approaches, give to PVF's Unrestricted Gift Fund.  Please contact us for more information.  Here are just two forms of creative grantmaking that your unrestricted gift will support:

Discretionary Grants - in what PVF has named “paperless giving,” PVF identifies nonprofit directors and school principals doing excellent work, then gives them grants they can use at their discretion to meet critical needs. These grants, made without application and based on trust, represent a unique approach to grantmaking.

Immediate Response Grantmaking - On a 48 hour turnaround basis, PVF provides small grants to direct service professionals, such as teachers, librarians, and social workers, to provide resources for creative projects and to meet the needs of clients they serve. If you wish to give an unrestricted gift to support one of PVF's current immediate response Programs, see: Our Programs.
