Six Mountain View nonprofits have each received grants of $11,090 from the Mountain View Voice Holiday Fund, thanks to the generosity of local residents and businesses.
The Holiday Fund began in 2003 and each year selects several nonprofits providing services to needy families in Mountain View that share equally in the funds raised. This year, the Voice made grants to Community Services Agency, Community School of Music & Arts, Day Worker Center, Hope’s Corner, Mayview Community Health Center and Mentor Tutor Connection.
“These organizations are leaders in consistently providing critical services to the community,” said Embarcadero Media Foundation president Adam Dawes. “Highlighting the work of nonprofits serving Mountain View residents is one of the Mountain View Voice’s important missions and we are gratified for the support our readers provide each holiday season.”
The nonprofit Embarcadero Media Foundation, which publishes the online Mountain View Voice and Redwood City Pulse, as well as the Palo Alto Weekly and The Almanac, covers all the expenses of the campaign, so all the money raised goes to the recipient organizations. The program also receives support from the Packard, Hewlett and several family foundations that prefer to give anonymously.
