LIVERMORE, CA - Nonprofits in the Tri-Valley area have a new place in downtown Livermore to brainstorm and grow their organization.

“Having a physical place for collaboration – not just with colleagues, but also those they serve – is important for nonprofits, particularly when they’re just getting started,” TVNPA President and CEO Kathy Young said.

Co-founder and former TVNPA board member Mony Nop helped bring the vision to life, matching the building owner Alan Burnham’s donation of $10,000.

“Kathy and I spoke about this nonprofit collaboration center when we first met in an elevator eight years ago. Now that it is coming to fruition, you can’t help but support it. Together, our community will thrive,” Nop said.
