What is the Community Partnering Sponsorship Program?
Valley Water’s mission is to provide Silicon Valley with safe, clean water for a healthy life, environment and economy. As the largest water supply, stewardship, and flood management special district in California, Valley Water is committed to focusing on local community participation around regional water policy issues.
Through the Community Partnering Sponsorship program, we offer sponsorships for organizations and/or events that align with Valley Water’s interests and mission. Please note that applicants are not guaranteed the full amount requested and the final sponsorship award will be evaluated and determined by the Community Partnering Sponsorship program.
