Highlights on CFVI Grants
Partnering with the community is what we do. Since 1990 the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands has been accumulating assets given by you and your neighbors - and year after year CFVI has been increasing its support and grants to the people of our Territory.
An increase in CFVI assets of over $5.3 million from 2000 to 2010 has strengthened our outreach and impact in the community. In 2010, our total assets exceeded $7 million.
