Foundation Trustees: Past & Present

About the Foundation

Over the years experienced trustees have rotated off the board, and new trustees have joined. The selection of new trustees presents the opportunity to broaden our vision and expand our knowledge of the philanthropic process. The trustees also recognize that the opportunity to support outstanding programs is a gift that nourishes them as well as the recipients. Each new trustee brings unique strengths, insights and interests.

The distinguished list of trustees who have served the Valentine Foundation includes the following wonderful women:
