Valley First is proud of its strong commitment to its communities and continues to collaborate with local partners through two different funding streams. Whether it’s a marketing sponsorship or a community investment, our partnerships extend beyond financial contributions. We are interested in opportunities for active engagement and participation with the causes and initiatives we support.
For marketing sponsorships, we seek partnerships that strengthen our business, support our objectives, allow us to share our story and provide the chance to engage with the community. Examples include the sponsorship of programs, local events, cultural festivals, projects and more.
For us, community investments that advance a social issue in the communities where we operate is a top priority. As an organization, we have found alignment between our purpose and six Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where we concentrate our efforts and support, with a focus on programming. Organizations are asked to measure social impact with viable metrics for us to assess, adapt and evaluate our impact across the organization.
