Our Mission

The Almaden Valley Women's Club was founded in 1965. The purpose of our non-profit organization is to stimulate, by the active participation of each member, interest in the social, civic, and cultural improvement of our community.

What We Do


We are committed to serving the needs of the Almaden Valley community and those of greater San Jose through funds raised at our community fundraising events. All proceeds from our Fundraisers are donated as community grants to educational facilities and non-profit community organizations and as Academic & Service Scholarships to graduating seniors living in Almaden Valley and the surrounding zip codes.
