North Valley Community Foundation’s recent giving is shaped by recovery work in the Camp Fire footprint, with large grants flowing to organizations still addressing long-term needs in Paradise, Chico, and nearby communities. In 2024, that included $639,950 to Plumas Strong for disaster relief and $621,625 to Camp Fire Collaborative for disaster relief, alongside support for local housing, education, and community organizations. The pattern points to a funder that blends immediate response with longer rebuilding efforts, using both general support and purpose-specific awards. The foundation also backs local institutions that anchor day-to-day services. Jesus Center received $1,414,096 in 2023 for general support and $245,466 in 2024 for housing, while Habitat for Humanity of Butte County received $918,120 in 2023 for general support. Other large awards went to Community Housing Improvement Program, Butte County Office of Education, and Youth for Change, showing attention to housing stability, education, and crisis response. Its program list reinforces that mix: children’s services, senior support, arts, youth sports, music therapy, and fire recovery all appear alongside disaster-related work. Grants are aimed at organizations rather than individuals, and the foundation operates through community-based funding relationships rather than program-related investments.
Disaster recovery is a major thread in North Valley Community Foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $619,650 to Hope Crisis Response Network Inc for disaster relief in Paradise, $600,335 to Rebuild Paradise Foundation for disaster relief, and $478,075 to Plumas Rural Services for disaster relief in Quincy. The Camp Fire footprint remains central, and the same pattern shows up in its active Camp Fire Fund Grant Program and Dixie Fire Grant Program. Housing and basic needs also appear prominently. Jesus Center received $245,466 in 2024 for housing, after a much larger general-support grant in 2023, and Community Housing Improvement Program received $651,039 in 2023 for general support. Those awards sit alongside grants to Habitat for Humanity of Butte County and other local service providers. Children and youth are another clear focus. The foundation gave $539,200 to Youth for Change for disaster relief and $433,000 to Paradise Unified School District for disaster relief, while its active programs include Chico Children’s Endowment Fund and Bridges to Belonging Homeless and Foster Fund.

North Valley Community Foundation’s typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $20,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent-grants list also shows a wide upper range, with several awards in the hundreds of thousands and some in the low millions, reflecting a structure that mixes routine operating support with larger recovery awards. The data show recurring relationships: Camp Fire Collaborative, Rebuild Paradise Foundation, and Jesus Center each appear more than once across 2023 and 2024. The foundation gives to community-based nonprofits, schools, and public agencies, and its active programs accept unsolicited applications. It does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals.
Grantmaking is heavily concentrated in California, where 89% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state. Chico, Paradise, Oroville, Quincy, Greenville, Chester, Redding, and Yankee Hill all appear among recent recipients, with Chico and Paradise especially prominent. Outside California, a smaller number of grants went to recipients in Covington, Kentucky; Mattapoisett, Massachusetts; and St. Louis, Missouri. All listed grants in the recipient-country data are in the United States.
It gives to community-based nonprofits, schools, and government agencies. Recent grants include general support for Jesus Center, Habitat for Humanity of Butte County, and Butte County Office of Education, as well as disaster-relief support for groups working in Paradise, Chico, Quincy, and Greenville.

The distribution centers on $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $20,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. Recent awards also include much larger grants, including seven-figure support to Jesus Center and Camp Fire Collaborative.
Its giving is local and concentrated in California: 89% of grants go to recipients in CA. Recent recipient cities include Chico, Paradise, Oroville, Quincy, Greenville, Chester, Redding, and Yankee Hill.
Yes. Camp Fire Collaborative appears in both 2023 and 2024, Rebuild Paradise Foundation appears in both years, and Jesus Center appears in both years as well. That suggests continuing relationships rather than one-time awards only.
