  Mr. SWALWELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Tri-Valley 
Nonprofit Alliance on a decade of uplifting and supporting Tri-Valley 
nonprofit organizations, as they celebrated their ten-year anniversary 
on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
  Founded in Livermore 2014 by Kathy Young and Mony Nop, the Tri-Valley 
Nonprofit Alliance has fostered support for its growing network of over 
300 community-based nonprofit organizations through education, 
collaboration, and financial support. The Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance 
offers educational workshops, industry-related seminars, workforce 
development programming, and access to a supportive professional 
network through their monthly meetings and networking events. To date, 
the Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance has offered over 100 educational 
workshops specifically for nonprofit organizations.
  The Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance provides financial support through 
its Tri-Valley Nonprofit Fund, which has given over $380,000 in grants 
to more than 40 nonprofits. This financial support is crucial to help 
organizations carry out diverse programs to help those in need.
  In June 2022, the Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance opened the 
CommonPoint Nonprofit Center in Downtown Livermore, offering physical 
workspaces and offices for over 20 growing organizations and 
consultants.
  The Anti-Poverty Collaborative is another Tri-Valley Nonprofit 
Alliance-led initiative, and yet another example of their innovative 
thinking and solutions. It seeks to eradicate poverty by bringing 
together leaders from nonprofit organizations, faith organizations, and 
elected officials to create innovative policies and solutions to create 
systems-level change.
  With mindful guidance and leadership, Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance 
has become a force for good in my district. They have fostered a safe 
space for nonprofits, big and small, to collaborate and grow. I 
appreciate their work and wish them many more years of success.
