Danville Area Chamber of Commerce Fund
Educational & Community Outreach Programs
While our community is vibrant, hidden challenges and addictions – social media, drugs, vaping, post-pandemic isolation – have kept our youth among the most vulnerable. In 2023, the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce held educational outreach forums in partnership with government, businesses and non-profits to inform parents and caregivers of risks and resources available in our area. Grants of $44,133 were also distributed to non-profits in this space. Our educational programming, complete with helpful videos, is available by scrolling below.
These programs are conducted in partnership with our fiscal sponsor, Three Valleys Community Foundation (3VCF). Federal Tax ID# 87-1782380. Click the button below to make a tax-deductible contribution to help with educational outreach.
