Making a Difference, Together
The CanDo Give!Guide community helps
Napa County nonprofits thrive, year after year.
Since 2013, Napa Valley’s Community Giving Campaign has raised more than $8.6 million for 180 local nonprofits, thanks to the generosity of donors, sponsors, and community members.
Each year, the guide showcases returning and new nonprofits—carefully selected through an application process—demonstrating how community support helps our county thrive.
We’re excited to welcome the 98 nonprofit organizations to the 2026 Give!Guide, launching November 1.
The Give!Guide makes it easy to discover and support local nonprofits and the causes you care about—all through one trusted place to give.
