INNOVATION EVENT
Join us for an evening of weaving with community members across Fresno!
The Central Valley Community Foundation and Fresno DRIVE are excited to host and bring the Weaver Awards to our Fresno community. Weave the People is the kickoff event for this grantmaking program, where our community will engage in weaving activities such as arts & culture, dialogues, and sharing a meal together.
What is weaving? Weaving is the practice of building meaningful relationships that set the conditions for social trust to grow in communities. It begins with a simple commitment: to see one another as equal in dignity, even when experiences and viewpoints differ.
About the Weaver Awards: a constellation of activities designed to celebrate and support weavers—everyday neighbors who are building relationships, strengthening belonging, and weaving trust into the social fabric of their communities.
About Weave: The Social Fabric Project -- an initiative of the Aspen Institute dedicated to strengthening trust, connection, and belonging in communities across the United States. Weave supports everyday weavers—neighbors who show up for others, bridge divides, and build community. Through storytelling, online learning, community-building programs, and the Weaver Awards, Weave works to repair America’s social fabric from the ground up and lift up the people who are already leading this work in their neighborhoods.
