It’s easy to forget how much nonprofits rely on technology behind the scenes—but upgrades like this make a real difference. The Foundation was proud to have awarded a $13,000 grant to help Roanoke Valley SPCA update their server. That means stronger data security, smoother day‑to‑day operations, and—most importantly—no interruptions in the care and support they provide to the animals and community.
