Values
In addition to our mission and vision, the Eastern Shore of Virginia Community Foundation is guided by certain values and principles. We believe:

  • Building a permanent unrestricted endowment provides the best resource for meeting the future needs of the community.
     

  • Making strategic and transformational grants is the most effective way to create positive changes in the community and inspire philanthropy.
     

  • Funding across a spectrum of social services, the arts, civic projects and the environment is our mandate; focusing on education and healthy families as the foundation for individual success and community vitality is our priority.
     

  • Treating our donors, grant applicants, volunteers and employees with equal respect is essential to the success of our mission.
