How We Impact the Community

Napa County sits in one of California’s most fire-prone landscapes. After the Atlas, Tubbs, Glass, and LNU fires, the threat is not abstract—it endangers our homes, watersheds, economy, and way of life. We reduce that risk before fire strikes, working to make our communities more resilient every year.

We put our mission into action on the ground and in neighborhoods. Alongside CAL FIRE, Napa County, and local Fire Safe Councils, we’ve stewarded nearly 10,000 acres of hazardous fuels, built and improved strategic fire breaks and evacuation routes, and installed “Beacon Boxes” that guide firefighters to critical roads, gates, and water sources during emergencies. We also help residents create defensible space and prepare their own properties through education, workshops, and outreach.

Here’s what makes your gift go further: we have a proven track record of leveraging grant dollars, so every donation acts as a force multiplier—unlocking far greater investment in local wildfire resilience. Community support lets us expand projects, implement initiatives grant dollars don’t fund, and reach vulnerable neighborhoods. Every gift helps replace fear with readiness—protecting the lives, homes, and landscapes that make Napa Valley home.
