The Fund for the NRV helps
organizations address shared challenges in early childhood education, hunger relief, and aging in place, and provides tools to build the capacity of all NRV nonprofits to meet their missions.
For the 5th Annual GiveBigNRV Giving Day on April 18, 2018, National Bank and an anonymous donor are joining forces to match up to $10,000 in contributions made to The Fund for the NRV. Take a look below at how we're using the Fund to benefit our region through four targeted initiatives. ________________________________________________________________________________________
