TVNPA Monthly Programs
TVNPA offers regular opportunities to meet and collaborate with peers to enhance and grow the skills and talents of the dedicated people who work and volunteer in the nonprofit sector. Organizations share their challenges and successes, announce jobs and employment openings, and notify each other of upcoming volunteer experiences and events. TVNPA provides nonprofit organizations with industry-relevant seminars, collaborative discussions and alliance networking at monthly meetings and organized events. Our regular monthly meetings are free and open to anyone interested in the nonprofit community.
Tri-Valley Nonprofit Fund
TVNPA member organizations and/or regional nonprofit organizations serving the Tri-Valley communities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Danville and Sunol, will be eligible to apply for grants of between $1,000 – $5,000 four times per year. Awards will be made in March, June, September, and December.
CommonPoint Nonprofit Center
As part of our mission to strengthen the nonprofit community, TVNPA opened the doors of CommonPoint Nonprofit Center in downtown Livermore on March 1, 2022.
Located at 164 North L Street, CPNC is an affordable co-working office space for nonprofit organizations to establish themselves, share resources, collaborate, connect with their communities, and raise visibility. Our office space is ideal for smaller nonprofits in need of physical location or larger nonprofits in need of a satellite office.
