Central Valley Community Foundation

The Central Valley Air Quality Coalition (CVAQ) is a Fresno-based organization founded in 2003, comprising numerous local community groups dedicated to restoring clean air in the San Joaquin Valley. With a focus on environmental justice, CVAQ raises awareness, advocates for policy changes, and mobilizes communities to enhance regional health, particularly for marginalized populations disproportionately affected by air pollution.

CVAQ emphasizes engagement and involvement from communities of color and low-income residents, ensuring they have meaningful opportunities to participate in community projects and regulatory processes. Through their efforts, the coalition aims to create a healthier environment for all residents in the San Joaquin Valley.
