At The Valentine Foundation, we believe every scholarship, every clean coastline, and every inspired young mind brings us closer to a stronger, more connected world. Now, we’re turning the page to a new chapter and we’re excited to share it with you.
What’s New
We’ve made some big changes recently, and we can’t wait for you to see them:
A brand-new website now tells our story more clearly, showcases our work, and makes it easy to get involved.
Online donations are open, so you can support our mission in just a few clicks.
We’re expanding our reach, growing our programs and partnerships to serve even more communities.
These changes reflect our commitment to making a greater impact, and they’re just the beginning.
Our Mission
The Valentine Foundation exists to honor Becky Valentine’s legacy through action. Our mission focuses on three key areas:
Education: We provide 20 annual scholarships to Kettering University students in Flint, Michigan. These students go on to lead in science, technology, and beyond.
Environment: We distribute grants to partners like the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and Wildlife Conservation Society to protect wildlife and coral reefs, secure vital ecosystems and support ocean health.
Community: We fund programs like Find My Genius at the Southeast Ventura County YMCA. This initiative helps young students build skills in literacy, STEM, and social-emotional development.
We choose every project with purpose and aim to create real, lasting change.
What’s Next
Looking ahead, we’re focused on growth. Our plans include:
Forming new partnerships with organizations that share our values
Reaching underserved communities that need support
Offering more ways for individuals and families to contribute
We want more people to get involved, and we’ve made it easier than ever with our updated site and online giving options.
