Living Treasures Program

“Honoring someone through Living Treasures is a way of increasing the wealth of human relationships and helping out the nonprofits.”

JoAnn Ross Cunningham

The Living Treasures Program was created as a way for donors to honor friends, relatives and community members who are valued and make a difference in a variety of ways. Your gift to the Living Treasures Program in the name of a specific person helps support the work of the many nonprofit organizations in the Chilkat Valley.

Living Treasures gifts can be made to any Chilkat Valley Community Foundation fund.

Individuals named as Living Treasures will be recognized in CVCF’s annual December newsletter, on CVCF’s Facebook page, and on this web page. They will also receive a special card acknowledging them as a treasure. Currently our Living Treasures card features artwork by Haines High School graduate Elizabeth Jurgeleit.

To make your donation in honor of someone, please indicate the name on your check or in “Additional Instructions” when donating online.

I can’t really bake enough cookies or cakes to show the depth of my appreciation to some people, but I can make a donation in their name through Living Treasures. Chilkat Valley would not be as wonderful a place to live without people who do so much for our community. I love having this option to donate money in their names to CVCF, who will then multiply the money to the benefit of our community.
