This week’s Member Monday highlights the power of connection and collaboration. 💜

Shepherd's Gate shares how TVNPA has supported their work through opportunities like funding for children to participate in Reins in Motion’s equine therapy program, increased visibility through our Member Directory and network, and professional development through the inaugural Philanthropy Institute.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that believes relationships and collaboration create lasting impact.

This year, the Tri-Valley Nonprofit Fund awarded a $5,000 grant to 333 Arts to support a powerful youth mental health initiative bringing student-designed murals and mental health resources directly onto school campuses.

In communities where academic achievement often masks emotional struggles, 333 Arts is helping make mental health visible, approachable, and accessible. Their project combines public art with direct access to support through embedded QR codes connecting students to verified mental health resources privately and instantly.

With youth anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation continuing to rise across the Tri-Valley, this work meets students where they are — through creativity, peer connection, and community conversation.

We’re proud to support innovative programs like this through the Tri-Valley Nonprofit Fund.

The next grant cycle is now open, and applications must be submitted by May 31, 2026.

“Shepherd’s Gate is far more than just a shelter.”

For more than 43 years, Shepherd's Gate has walked alongside women and children as they heal from homelessness, addiction, domestic violence, trafficking, and trauma.

Their long-term residential program gives women the time and support needed to address the root causes of their circumstances, while transitional housing and alumni services help them build lasting stability after graduation.

One of the most powerful measures of success is seeing former residents come full circle—returning as volunteers, donors, advocates, and even staff members.

With 84% of graduates not returning to their previous circumstances, Shepherd’s Gate is helping transform lives and create brighter futures for generations to come. 💜

What began with one woman opening her home to support women experiencing homelessness and domestic violence has grown into a life-changing program serving thousands across the Bay Area and beyond. 💜

In this week’s Member Monday, Marcie Senter shares the story behind Shepherd's Gate — from founder AliceAnn Cantelow’s vision in 1984 to the long-term residential recovery program that now supports women and children experiencing homelessness, addiction, domestic violence, and trafficking.

With campuses in Livermore and Brentwood, Shepherd’s Gate has served more than 15,500 women and children over the past 43 years through housing, recovery support, and long-term healing-centered care.

We’re honored to spotlight the incredible work happening at Shepherd’s Gate.

Meet Lisa Henderson, a member of the Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance Board of Directors and Founder & CEO of Set To Thrive.

Lisa launched Set To Thrive in 2021 to support children experiencing foster care and homelessness by providing essential items that help youth feel prepared, confident, and cared for.

Through partnerships with school districts, social services, and community organizations, Lisa has helped expand the organization’s impact across the region — ensuring vulnerable youth receive the support and resources they need to thrive.

She is also leading a growing initiative focused on supporting youth transitioning out of foster care and into secondary education, helping bridge critical gaps during a pivotal stage of life.

Lisa brings compassion, vision, and a deep commitment to community to our board, and we’re grateful for the leadership and advocacy she brings to TVNPA.

A longtime Danville resident, Lisa enjoys traveling, spending time with family and friends, and playing tennis.

Lately, we’ve been spending a lot of time out in the community — visiting nonprofits, filming Member Mondays, attending events, and having conversations with people doing incredible work across the Tri-Valley.

One thing that keeps coming up in all of these spaces is how much this work depends on connection. People sharing ideas, supporting each other, making introductions, showing up for their communities, and finding ways to collaborate.

That’s one of the things we love most about this network.

We’re excited to keep sharing more of the stories, people, and organizations behind the work happening across our nonprofit community. 💙
