Our team is still reeling from the Celebration of Community hosted by Central Valley Opportunity Fund (CVOF) on Wednesday evening, which took place at Merced Community College District. The event honored 16 Merced-area community benefit organizations that collectively received $2.7M in grants from CVOF this past fiscal year. We are so grateful to support the work our grantees are doing to improve the lives of Merced residents. We also surprised one grantee at the event! Merced College was awarded a $150,000 grant for the Dreamscape Learn Lab. Thank you to everyone who joined us at this wonderful community celebration. #CVOFMerced #CentralValleyCF #WhateverItTakes . . .
