This website was built on Wix. Create yours today. Get Started The Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation was formed in 1977 by Wayne and Gladys Valley to provide financial assistance for various charitable organizations of particular interest to them, principally in the East Bay Area of California.
Since Wayne’s death in October 1986, and Gladys’ death in May 1998, the Foundation has been considered a major philanthropic institution in this Area. Wayne was the founder and majority owner of Citation Builders, a San Leandro, California developer which became one of the largest single-family homebuilders in the State.
In all of Wayne’s business activities, he gained a reputation as a tough, honest and fair-minded businessman who insisted that each endeavor which he undertook be justified on its own merits and offered an above-average chance for success. The Valleys applied these principles to their charitable giving as well.
True to the principles of its founders, the Foundation has made, and will continue to make, grants only to organizations and projects which strive for excellence and carry out their programs in a well-managed and cost-efficient manner, with clearly defined and achievable goals.
To ensure that the Foundation’s assets are distributed in the primary areas that the founders designated, and — equally as important — that grants are awarded on the basis consistent with the founders’ intentions, in 2003 the Board unanimously elected to wind down and terminate the Foundation.
In December 2025, the Foundation's Board unanimously voted to limit all future grant-making to charitable organizations which were of particular interest to Wayne and Gladys during their lifetimes. To that end, the Foundation will no longer accept or consider unsolicited proposal requests. The Foundation's Board will actively seek and limit all future grant-making to Requests for Proposals solicited by the Foundation.
