Accion Opportunity Fund is a leading national provider of affordable loans, educational resources, coaching, and thriving networks for underserved small businesses.

Since 1988, the Valley Medical Center Foundation has served as the fundraising arm of Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (VMC) and the Santa Clara Valley Health & Hospital System (SCVHHS). While VMC and SCVHHS are public entities and receive funding from the County of Santa Clara, public funding does not nearly fulfill the needs of the hospital system. The VMC Foundation funds programs and capital projects that support the health needs of Santa Clara County’s lowest income children and adults. VMC is a 574-bed acute care teaching hospital and research institution dedicated to the health of the whole community. As the busiest hospital in the Silicon Valley region, VMC cares for over 25,000 hospitalized patients and provides over 800,000 outpatient and emergency visits annually – in all, providing health services to 1 in 4 residents of Santa Clara County. VMC is the only medical center in the county with an open door policy that guarantees everyone access to care, regardless of ability to pay.
