Central Valley Legislative Roundtable
The San Joaquin Community Foundation, Stanislaus Community Foundation, Kern Community Foundation, and the Central Valley Community Foundation jointly convene the Central Valley Legislative Roundtable, a gathering of district staff from the Valley’s state and Federal delegation. The quarterly meetings provide an opportunity for information sharing, finding opportunities to work together across the political and geographic spectrum of the Valley, and leveraging public and philanthropic resources.
The Foundation loans staff time to this collaborative with the other community foundations in the Central Valley. Our team plans, convenes and facilitates the quarterly meetings and work sessions.
Foundation’s Role
Geographic Focus
All eight counties of the Central Valley – Kern, Tulare, Kings, Fresno, Madera, Merced, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin Counties.
The Foundation helps bring Valley leaders together to advance shared priorities and advocate for the region at the state and national level.
Regional Collaboration
The Foundation supports a unique public-philanthropic partnership that brings Valley leaders together to champion regional priorities through bipartisan problem-solving.
Shared Learning Across the Valley
Quarterly meetings rotate throughout the region, allowing district representatives to learn from one another and hear directly from local community voices.
Advancing Educational Equity
In partnership with community foundations and the Gates Foundation, the Central Valley Legislative Roundtable helped secure a $200M state investment to expand equitable dual enrollment and improve college degree attainment.
