Overview of Healthy Valley Foundation

The Healthy Valley Foundation serves as more of a charity to charities than as a standalone unit – a true foundation. Their generous donations and top-flight board offer unique insight into the community as a whole and ensures they serve a much needed mission.

These are our words, not the organization’s. This is in an effort to maintain transparency and avoid bias.

The Board member list, both past and present reads like the who’s who of the Inland Empire and the San Jacinto Valley. The impressiveness of the braintrust that officiates and oversees operations for the Healthy Valley Foundation proves the importance of the Foundation’s implementation and outreach over the immediate past.

But with the Healthy Valley Foundation, it’s more about the future than it is the past. their overarching goal is to combat tomorrow’s problems with investment today in novel solutions proffered by community partners in specialty positions to combat risks to the community.

Admittedly that’s not what their mission or vision states, but it is what has been the practice for this Foundation in the recent years. They have been on the leading edge of identifying legitimate future concerns and stopping their growth before they become a widespread problem.

Their foresight comes from the experience of the individual board members and the companies and individuals who are smart enough to reach out to the Healthy Valley Foundation to ask for community grants and donations. It’s a wonderful partnership.

The causes they support, run the gamut but they all make sense for a large and growing community like the nearly 95k people in Hemet and burgeoning surrounding areas. San Jacinto is growing fast too. As population growth increases, so too, do the risks for difficulties that come along with that community enlargement.
