Prospective Members

Thank you for considering joining Valle Monte League.

Valle Monte League has proudly served as a pillar of support for mental health agencies in the greater Santa Clara County area for over 70 years. Comprised of dedicated women volunteers, we are committed to raising funds and awareness to drive positive change in our community.

We are seeking women who share our passion for:

  • Supporting local mental health agencies through fundraising activities.
  • Building meaningful, lasting friendships with fellow women dedicated to advocacy and service.
  • Pursuing opportunities for personal growth, leadership, and empowerment through volunteerism and community engagement.
Membership Process:

Becoming a member of Valle Monte League is an exciting journey that begins with a Provisional year—a unique opportunity to experience our organization firsthand and determine if Valle Monte League is the right fit for you. During this time, you will gain insight into our mission, participate in key events, and connect with fellow members. The decision to transition to Active membership happens in January of the following year.

Please Note: Membership applications are only accepted once per year, during a limited window from January through March.

  • January – March: Application period opens—apply now!
  • March – April: Invitations are extended to eligible candidates.
  • April through December: Provisional training equips new members with the knowledge and experience needed for active involvement. The year culminates with our hallmark fundraising event, Christmas Tree Elegance, held in the first week of December.

After completing the Provisional year, members decide in January whether to transition to Active status, fully embracing the responsibilities and rewards of membership.

Financial Commitments:
  • One-time Provisional fee
  • Annual dues as an Active member
  • Commitment to procure $500 in annual donations
Time Commitments:
  • Attend monthly general meetings: Our meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday of each month with the exception of the summer months when no meetings are scheduled.
  • Volunteer at the event the first weekend of December. This includes:
    • Setup: Volunteers are needed on the Thursday prior to the event for setup.
    • Event Participation: Your presence is crucial during the event on Friday.
    • Cleanup: We appreciate your assistance on Saturday morning for cleanup duties
Our Impact:

Valle Monte League has raised over $12 million to support mental health services in our community. Each year, we thoughtfully evaluate the organizations we support to ensure our fundraising has the greatest possible impact. Today, our efforts directly benefit Hearts & Minds Activity Center, providing safe, nurturing programs that enrich the lives of individuals affected by Alzheimer’s and related conditions, while supporting the families who care for them.

Signature Event:

Christmas Tree Elegance: Our premier fundraising event, held annually during the first week of December.

Engagement Beyond Fundraising:

In addition to our philanthropic efforts, Valle Monte League offers socials and regular meetings to keep members engaged and foster collaboration on new initiatives.
