As the calendar turns, it’s the perfect time to look back at how far we’ve come. At The Becky Valentine Foundation, 2025 has been a year of incredible growth, storytelling, and record-breaking transparency. We are thrilled to close out the year by sharing our very first 2025 Impact Report, a comprehensive look at our journey and the lives touched by your generosity.
A Legacy of Giving: The 2025 Impact Report
While this is our inaugural formal report, it tells a story that began years ago. The 2025 Impact Report covers our entire grant-making history starting in 2017. We’ve designed this report to be a cornerstone of our communication, and we look forward to releasing a new edition every year-end to keep you informed.
Inside, you’ll find data-driven insights into where your donations go and the long-term changes they’ve sparked in our community.
Bringing the Work to Life: “Stories of Impact”
We believe that behind every grant is a human story. That’s why we’ve launched our new Stories of Impact web series. This ongoing series features deep-dive interviews with the visionaries and organizations that have partnered with the Foundation.

Sneak Peek: The first two episodes of the series are embedded directly within the 2025 Impact Report, giving you a front-row seat to the change you help create.
A Commitment to Radical Transparency
Trust is the most valuable asset we have. We are proud that the Foundation earned the 2025 Candid Gold Seal of Transparency. This distinction reflects our dedication to ensuring that every donor knows exactly how their support is making a difference. When you give to The Becky Valentine Foundation, you aren’t just sending a check; you’re investing in a proven, vetted mission.
The Becky Valentine Difference
What makes us different from the thousands of other nonprofits out there? We focus on four key pillars that ensure your gift works harder:
-
Targeted Impact: we identify high-impact organizations that are doing vital work but lack the “unlimited” funding of larger national charities.
-
Low Overhead: We believe donors should support missions, not exorbitant administrative costs. We keep our operations lean to maximize every dollar.
-
Rigorous Due Diligence: Our Board of Directors performs high-level vetting to ensure our grantees’ programs are achieving the greatest possible outcomes.
-
Legacy Partnership: We work closely with legacy donors through planned giving, ensuring they are actively involved in seeing their philanthropy at work during their lifetime.
Looking Ahead: What’s Coming in 2026?
We’re hitting the ground running next year! Here is a teaser of what you can expect:
-
More Stories of Impact: New episodes featuring more of our incredible partners.
-
The Return of “Critical Causes”: Get ready for the return of our signature fun events!
-
