Central Valley Empowerment Alliance

Central Valley Empowerment Alliance (CVEA) is a grassroots community development organizing group that holds the strong Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) values of "not doing for others what they can do for themselves" and those most affected have the solutions.CVEA uses issues to develop leadership amongst the rural BIPOC communities in Tulare County. They have successfully lead regional and statewide campaigns that include civic engagement and voter registration. CVEA prides itself on its bold, courageous, and transformative leadership needed to bring forth equitable, inclusive and representative change to rural communities. CVM raised funds for them using a one time fiscal sponsor in Spring of 2023. Their 501(c)(3) is in process now.
