TVNPA Power of Giving Celebration 2025
Thank you for an Incredible Night!
We’re still glowing from TVNPA’s 5th Annual Power of Giving: A Night of Inspiration and it’s all thanks to YOU! Whether you filled the Bankhead Theater with your light and applause or sent your support from beyond the stars, you helped make this celebration one to remember.
This year’s Star Wars-inspired evening transported us to a galaxy where nonprofit Executive Directors were captured by the “Empire” slashing nonprofit budgets. But with the help of our Jedi Board Members and the Rebel Alliance (aka TVNPA staff), the Force within all of us prevailed—and the EDs were saved!
Guests enjoyed a moving performance by Chorus Eclectic, followed by a heartfelt discussion among local nonprofit leaders about what inspires them and gives them hope in these challenging times. We also celebrated our Tri-Valley Nonprofit Fund grant recipients and honored the outstanding individuals and organizations making a difference across our community.
Congratulations to our 2025 Impact Maker Award recipients:
- Arts & Culture: Livermore Amador Symphony Association
- Corporate/Philanthropic Partner: UNCLE Credit Union
- Unsung Heroes: Lisa Henderson (Set to Thrive) and Carrie Oldes (Spectrum Community Services)
- Lifetime Achievement: Carolyn Siegfried
- Excellence in Impact – Over $1M: Tri-Valley Haven
- Excellence in Impact – Under $1M: Alan Hu Foundation
These extraordinary changemakers remind us that, even when challenges arise, the Power of Giving unites us—and hope always finds a way.
To our incredible sponsors, volunteers, performers, and guests – thank you for making this event shine brighter than ever. Your support fuels TVNPA’s mission to empower local nonprofits, strengthen partnerships, and inspire collective action across the Tri-Valley.
Let’s carry this spirit forward all year long. Together, we are the Force for good!
