The Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance has launched its first quarterly grant cycle for its 2022 Tri-Valley Nonprofit Fund Grant Program, with applications open through next Tuesday (February 22).

Nonprofits serving the Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Danville and Sunol communities that are registered as 501(c)3 organizations or have a fiscal sponsor are eligible to apply for grants ranging from $1 $000 to $5,000 in unrestricted funds that can be used for operational purposes as well as program and service delivery, TVNPA officials said.

On the fundraising side, the first $25,000 in donations to TVNPA for this program will be matched 150% thanks to partners Community Health and Education Foundation, and Marti and John Sutton. Go to www.tvnpa.org/tvnf.

The nature around us

The East Bay Regional Park District is offering two free, self-guided winter scavenger hunts in the greater Tri-Valley this Presidents’ Day weekend, as part of its ongoing programming to introduce residents to the resources nature that surrounds them.

Both events will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, February 19 – one at Sunol Regional Wilderness near Sunol and the other at Del Valle Regional Park south of Livermore. These are zero-registration programs, with no registration required.

“Stop at either park’s visitor center during these hours, grab an activity sheet, and set off on your personal park adventure,” officials said. Parking fees will be in effect at both sites. Call 510-544-3249 to find out more.
