TENT LENDING PROGRAM

Program Overview

We are pleased to continue offering our tent program as part of our support for community organizations. Through this program, we provide tents to qualifying organizations to help support community events and initiatives. Availability is based on current program guidelines and eligibility criteria.

Our criteria:

This is no longer a first-come-first-serve program, events will be selected based on alignment with our organizational goals.

Tent applications will be considered based on the following criteria:

Event size (ie. Number of attendees) scope and reach
Both non-profit and for-profit organizations may apply

Requests unlikely to qualify for funding:

Tent requests with less than two weeks’ notice.
Requests for more than two tents per event.
Private events that are not open to the public.
Requests for an individual (for example athletes raising funds to attend the Olympics, etc.), as we concentrate our efforts on organizations serving a group of people.
Requests for religious or political organizations and affiliated activities.
Requests for any group that represents a conflict of interest for Valley First, or that promotes specific programs or issues where Members of the Credit Union may have significantly divergent views.
