Elizabeth “Betsey” Doane and Barbara Lombardi, affectionately known throughout the Valley as the Lombardi Twins, created a donor advised fund at the Valley Community Foundation (VCF) in 2022 to benefit their beloved community. The Lombardi Twins Fund for the Valley will help support organizations, causes and issues special to them.
“The Valley has always been good to us, and we hope the fund will help agencies and organizations making a difference,” Barbara says.
No strangers to giving back to their community, the Lombardi Twins have been active in area organizations and nonprofits for years, and both have impressive professional and volunteer credentials.
“These two wonderful women are extraordinary role models to so many in our Valley and state,” says VCF President & CEO Sharon Closius. “We’re thrilled they have asked VCF to be the steward of their fund.”
