Assistance League ® of Diablo Valley is a nonprofit, member volunteer organization dedicated to improving lives in our community through its 16 hands-on programs. In November, the chapter was acknowledged at the Make It Better Foundation’s first Bay Area Philanthropy Awards, which were presented by the Marin Community Foundation. The arduous criteria included excellence, scalability, efficiency, leadership and effectiveness. The grant included a $10,000 cash award as well as scholarships to an executive education program on nonprofit management at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.

Since 1967, Assistance League of Diablo Valley member volunteers have improved the lives of those in our community who are vulnerable. The prestigious Make It Better Award will help offset financial challenges that the philanthropic community indefatigably faces.
