The Community Services Commission (the Commission) exists to support human service needs in the community and recommend action to the City Council regarding funding those needs. With these goals in mind, the Commission will: 

• identify the community's needs for human services
• develop guidelines to evaluate funding requests and allocate funds to human service organizations that meet the identified needs of the community
• review funding requests and recommend allocating funds for community service organizations that meet the identified needs of the community
• encourage and enlist participation from the greater Golden Valley community

Help make a difference in Golden Valley and consider a tax-deductible donation of $10, $20, $30, or more.

There are two ways to give. If you choose to pay by check or money order, complete the Make A Donation (PDF) and follow the guidelines for mailing or drop-off. This method of giving allows the most flexibility for choosing gift size and allocation.

If you choose to pay by credit card, keep in mind your donation will be allocated evenly to the organizations you designate, due to the limitations of our payment software. Thank you!
