The arts unlock creativity and imagination, offer opportunities to stretch in new ways, expand the scope of our interests to include others, and help us discover common ground with those whose experiences are different from our own. The arts challenge and celebrate the human spirit. They promote civic participation, ownership, and stewardship of Silicon Valley. The arts can promote public safety, nurture the creativity that fuels the economy, and help participants develop life skills and problem solving skills. We believe education is the cornerstone of a free democratic society.
Education is necessary for a civilization to govern and advance itself.
It is critical for both individuals and businesses to be economically viable. In a community as diverse as Silicon Valley, education provides equal opportunity for personal and financial success. By investing in education, we ensure the continued growth and vitality of our region. Neighborhoods and Civic Engagement Community Foundation Silicon Valley is committed to improving neighborhoods by strengthening residents civic participation. We support creating and sustaining strong neighborhoods and building healthy communities through resident involvement.
