Silicon Valley Home Gives Cash Awards to 65 Schools

Silicon Valley Home, one of the Bay Area’s leading real estate developers of affordable houses, will distribute donations on March 2 to 65 elementary schools in Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Cruz counties.

“We believe that by improving the quality of homes, we also improve the quality of lives, both for the homeowner and the neighborhood,” said Todd Hill, principal of SVHome. “Often what was once the worst house on a street is now the best, raising property values and giving people more pride in their neighborhood.”

SVHOME believes that investing in children builds the foundation for a brighter future for them and their communities, Hill added. For every home sold, SVHOME will donate $200 to that neighborhood’s local elementary school, he said.

Three Cupertino Union School District elementary schools—Stocklmeir, Nimitz and Vargas—are among recipients.

Other schools receiving donations are located in Los Gatos, Campbell and Mountain View, among others. To see the complete list of schools benefiting from the awards, click here.

Checks will be presented to school officials between noon and 2 p.m. March 2 at SVHOME’s main office in Los Gatos, 221 Los Gatos-Saratoga Rd. The public is invited for food and refreshments and to meet the SVHOME team.
