2026 Here for Good Recap

Photos and Video from the Day

Thank you to everyone who joined us for CFGV’s annual Here for Good celebration at the Center for the Arts in August. The turnout was bigger than ever and we had a great time connecting with everyone. We also want to acknowledge and thank all of the nonprofits who invited their supporters to attend. It was heartening to see how many people in our shared community support nonprofits and your work.

Local photographer Nolan Blunck attended the event this year to take photos. He captured so many great photos of friends and colleagues connecting during the nonprofit fair. Here are a few of our favorites (click to enlarge):

For the first time ever, we worked with a videographer to help tell the story of your 2026 Community Grants recipients. Watching you all watch the video was a true joy. Seeing (and hearing!) you cheer for your colleagues in this work demonstrated the genuine warmth, respect, and appreciation you hold for each other. In an increasingly divided world, it’s remarkable to see the way that the nonprofit community here works together.

While CFGV awarded a record amount in Community Grants, about $70,000 in highly rated grant requests remains available for donor support. We invite you to join us in making a gift to support your favorite local nonprofit, or a new one you just learned about from watching the video. Every dollar makes a difference in empowering these organizations to continue delivering for our community.
