Getting to and through college has never been more complex for students from low-income backgrounds. They face a mountain of obstacles: burdensome application requirements, skyrocketing college costs, complicated financial aid applications, a lack of mentorship, and much more.

Our work expands educational access to ensure underserved students have the equitable support required to earn degrees and build meaningful careers. Just last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of donors like you, we supported over 1,500 students across Napa Valley on their journeys to and through college.

Our near-peer mentors are embedded on six high school campuses, instilling confidence in our students’ unlimited potential while providing personalized support every step of the way. For those at Napa Valley College, we provide the resources needed to transfer and succeed at four-year universities; consequently, our students transfer at double the national average. Our volunteers help students build financial literacy skills and provide mentorship, offering vital career and graduate school readiness guidance.

More than 80% of our scholars earn a bachelor’s degree, with 90% graduating debt-free. Reflecting our mission, 100% of our students come from low-income backgrounds, 93% are students of color, and 92% are the first in their families to attend college.

Abode assists people who are currently experiencing or have recently exited homelessness. Annually, we serve over 1,000 individuals throughout Napa County. We provide case management, housing support, and street outreach; operate the South Napa Shelter; provide permanent supportive housing services at four locations; and offer tenancy sustaining services at sites throughout Napa aimed at keeping our participants housed for the long term.

Abode shelters individuals during their most difficult times, providing safe beds, warm showers, nourishing meals, and case management support. Once housed, Abode case managers support the clients on their pathway to self-sufficiency, aiming to build a base of stability for long-term success in housing. We support residents in paying rent on time, create a budget, follow the terms of their lease, keep their units clean and in good repair, and communicate effectively with property management.

In 2025, we welcomed 180+ people into new homes.

We invite you to help us support families and individuals transitioning from homelessness into a welcoming home. Become part of our community that welcomes them and cares about their success.

Agape Napa Valley provides groceries and essentials to more than 350 families in Napa County facing food insecurity and other economic hardships. Our services include drive-thru grocery distributions and LifeLine, an emergency food assistance program for families in crisis.

Agape was formed in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has grown into a trusted and vital resource for local families who continue to be impacted by rising inflation, high cost of living and other economic challenges. Our drive-thru distribution model allows families to collect food and essentials quickly and efficiently. Each bag we distribute contains fresh produce and non-perishable groceries as well as essentials such as soap, shampoo, feminine products and diapers.

Agape is unique in that it helps those in need without question or asking for proof of their circumstances. Our approach is to welcome all people seeking help with a warm and trusted hand.

Agape is 100% volunteer-run and depends entirely on donations from individuals, businesses and local foundations to pay for the procurement of food and essentials. Your donations make Agape’s important mission possible.

As Napa’s only provider of youth substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, our prevention programs reach 14 schools across NVUSD, SHUSD, and CJUSD. Last year, prevention staff provided 130 service referrals, engaged 68 participants in Brief Interventions across 76 sessions, facilitated 125 group sessions across 17 groups with 73 successful participants, and hosted 23 outreach events and 19 educational presentations.

Our ADAPT program—a unique hybrid educational-therapeutic model at Vintage High School—embeds full-time therapists and behavioral health experts in the classroom, supporting students whose mental health has impacted their ability to attend traditional school.

Through our fentanyl awareness campaign, we distributed over 1,500 test strips at 45 outreach events last year and are on track to distribute more than 2,000 this year. Through Behavioral Health and SOAR programming, we served over 300 clients and their family members.

Every statistic represents a young person or family in Napa County who found support, strength, and a path toward healing and a brighter future.

We believe every horse deserves safety, dignity, and purpose. We address the need for rescue, retirement, rehabilitation, aftercare, and rehoming for retired, injured, at-risk, and unwanted Thoroughbreds and sport horses. Our mission is to provide the specialized care and support they need to transition from racing and competitive careers into fulfilling second careers or peaceful retirements while promoting equine welfare.

We put our mission into action through individualized programs that include boarding, veterinary care, nutrition, training, and placement services. We continue to care for our horses as top-quality show horses, applying a deep understanding of Thoroughbred and sport horse physicality and psychology. Every horse receives a customized approach designed to support long-term health, well-being, and successful transitions. Through education and outreach, we raise awareness about horse exploitation, responsible aftercare, and the challenges retired and unwanted horses face.

Community support makes this work possible. Donations fund daily care and critical services, while dedicated volunteers, businesses, and community partners expand our impact. By sharing our horses’ success stories, hosting educational events, and advocating for animal welfare, we inspire philanthropy, build community engagement, and create hope, healing, and lasting opportunities for horses and the people who care about them.

When American Canyon residents find a litter of kittens, discover an injured cat, or need help with community cats in their neighborhood, they often don’t know where to turn. We were created to be that resource.

As a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit, we improve the lives of cats through rescue, foster care, adoption, trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR), and community education. We work alongside residents, businesses, veterinarians, shelters, and rescue partners to provide humane solutions that reduce suffering and improve the health and well-being of cats throughout our community.

In just two years, we have helped more than 1,000 cats and kittens. In 2025 alone, we responded to more than 300 requests for assistance, provided TNVR services for 428 community cats, rescued 132 kittens, and helped prevent approximately 4,280 unwanted kitten births that would otherwise contribute to suffering and shelter overcrowding.

Every donation directly supports lifesaving programs that help cats receive medical care, prevent unwanted litters, find safety through rescue and foster care, and live healthier lives. Together, we are creating a more compassionate future for cats while helping our community become part of the solution.

Our 56 volunteers actively engage in a wide range of programs and service projects that empower women and girls while addressing critical needs throughout our community.

Our efforts include reducing senior isolation, raising awareness of gender-based violence, awarding scholarships to high school seniors and heads of household who are women pursuing higher education, and mentoring youth through our high school “S” Club, which actively supports our mission. We respond to various community needs through hands-on service and partnerships that directly benefit women and girls. These efforts include donating pajamas to foster care children, supporting Girls on the Run through both financial contributions and volunteer service, providing 40 Hope Bags to survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, and supporting NEWS in its mission to serve those affected by abuse. We provided lid covers to sixteen establishments to reduce drink spiking.

What makes our work unique is our unwavering focus on empowering women and girls and the fact that every program and project is carried out by volunteers dedicated to fulfilling the Soroptimists’ mission. Together, we strive to create opportunities, inspire confidence, and help women and girls reach their fullest potential and dreams.

Empowering women and girls throughout our community to be their best.

We provide sanctuary, medical care, and second chances to animals who are abandoned, critically injured, disabled, elderly, or medically fragile. From emergency rescues to lifelong sanctuary placement, we specialize in compassionate, hands-on care that helps vulnerable animals heal and thrive with dignity.

Our sanctuary is known for taking on difficult cases others cannot accommodate, including rehabilitation, mobility support, neonatal care, and long-term recovery. We also assist local families facing hardship with their animals and help coordinate safe placements throughout California, ensuring compassion is never limited by convenience.

Stewardship is central to our mission. Whenever possible, we use reclaimed materials, repurposed infrastructure, and donated resources for enrichment projects and farm improvements so more donor support goes directly toward veterinary care, feed, rehabilitation, and lifesaving daily support.

As a fully volunteer-run nonprofit, no board member or team member receives a salary. Every contribution directly supports the animals and the community we serve. In a region that values connection, sustainability, and compassion, we strive to create a sanctuary where kindness, responsibility, and hope still lead the way.

Every child deserves a safe place to learn, grow, and discover their potential. Yet many youth in Napa Valley face barriers that extend far beyond the classroom, including financial hardship, food insecurity, limited access to enrichment opportunities, and a lack of safe, supportive environments after school, during school breaks, and throughout the summer. When school is out, the Clubs are open, providing stability, opportunity, and a place where every child belongs.

Through 13 Clubhouse and school-based locations across Napa and American Canyon, we serve more than 3,000 youth each year with high-quality programs that inspire academic success, healthy lifestyles, leadership, workforce readiness, arts, athletics, and STEM exploration. More than 2,000 youth receive scholarships annually, ensuring every child can participate regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.

Community support makes this possible. Every gift helps provide safe spaces, caring mentors, nutritious meals and snacks, homework support, enriching experiences, and opportunities that help young people discover their strengths and build confidence. Together, we are creating brighter futures, stronger families, and a more vibrant Napa Valley—one child at a time.

Brannan Center is a community space and performing arts venue designed to serve the UpValley by providing much-needed meeting and event space for community groups and non-profits, by providing rehearsal and performance space for local arts organizations, by bringing high-qualityntertainment to the UpValley, and by supplementing public school arts education through workshops and interactive daytime performances.

We serve more than 8000 people annually from children through seniors with a focus on affordable programs such as free after-school drama classes in partnership with Cafeteria Kids Theater, free exercise classes for seniors in partnership with Rianda House, a free community holiday celebration – “Merry & Bright Night,” and a low-cost concert series featuring Bay Area musicians – “The Listening Room.” In addition, we present a range of performances from jazz to bluegrass to rock to classical, including a chamber music series in partnership with the Santa Rosa Symphony, plus stand-up comedy nights and noteworthy speakers. These programs are only possible through the generosity of our donors.

As the only organization of its kind in the UpValley, Brannan Center is a culturally relevant community resource that is working to touch the lives of every member of the UpValley community and beyond.

Cafeteria Kids Theater (CKT) was founded in 2014 to inspire, engage, and enrich the lives of young people in Napa Valley through the performing arts. We address a gap in accessible, high-quality arts education in local schools and community programs.

Since then, CKT has reached over 15,000 students with inclusive programming, including full-scale musical productions, in-school residencies, after-school classes, acting workshops, and summer camps serving ages 3–17. Multi-age, ensemble-based learning allows younger and older students to collaborate while building creativity, communication, leadership, and empathy, culminating in live performances that build tangible accomplishment and community connection.

CKT is committed to equity and access by offering needs-based scholarships, removing barriers so participation is available to all. We believe every child deserves a chance to grow through this enriched experience. With community support, we can continue expanding access and providing transformative arts experiences that build confidence, belonging, and joy in our community. Donor support makes this work possible by funding scholarships, teaching artists, and school partnerships.

Cake4Kids Napa provides underserved youth ages 1–24 with free, custom, volunteer-baked cakes to celebrate their birthdays, graduations, and adoptions. The youth who receive our cakes are experiencing challenging circumstances. We provide an integral component of emotional and social wellness to youth by ensuring that they are seen and celebrated on their special days. It’s our mission to make a lasting positive impact on the lives of these children and deliver smiles, one cake at a time.

We partner with twelve Napa social and human service agencies and over 70 committed local volunteers to ensure every child requesting a custom cake receives one. In 2026, our chapter surpassed 1,000 youth served locally since our chapter began in 2018. Nationally, our organization celebrated our 100,000th cake delivered in 2026, with the help of over 16,000 volunteers.

While we recognize that youth require the basics—food, shelter, and education—we know that those alone are insufficient to create a positive childhood and guide them into successful adulthood. Each custom sweet creates a special moment for a child in need, showing them that they matter and providing proof that they are part of a community that believes in them.

We provide the resources and space for members of the community to gather and create art. Our goal is to make art accessible to everybody by offering classes and workshops to all demographics with an eye toward diversity and inclusion. We work with Calistoga Parks and Recreation to offer free classes to residents, such as afterschool art classes for students and craft labs for residents ages 50 and above. We also allocate donations to a scholarship fund so that we can provide full or partial support to anybody who finds that price may be a barrier. Being able to gather and create art is incredibly important because it creates community, allows free expression, improves mental health and mood, and keeps the mind sharp at all age levels. Our programs provide all or most of the materials at an approachable cost, with opportunity for more support in order for people of all skill levels, abilities, and incomes to find a creative outlet. Your support provides the raw materials, such as paint, brushes, clay, paper, etc., as well as goes toward our scholarship funds to allow people of all income ranges to create with us.

We lift women and girls up, one Soroptimist program at a time, by investing in Calistoga youth through two mentorship programs, providing service, encouragement, and practical support. Many students need trusted adults, leadership opportunities, and extra resources to stay engaged in school, build confidence, and imagine a successful future.

Through S-Club, we sponsor a high school service club where students build leadership skills, plan service and fundraising projects, volunteer locally, and connect with women leaders who serve as mentors and role models. As student Evelyn G. shared, “I appreciate Soroptimist members who were always there when I needed them.”

Through Palisades Pals, we support Palisades High School students working to recover credits, get back on track, and pursue graduation, career training, college, or other next steps. In partnership with Rotary and school staff, we provide encouragement, supplies, scholarships, grants, and ongoing support that tells students they are seen, valued, and capable. Donor support directly funds these youth programs and sustains the relationships, opportunities, and resources students need to thrive.

Every gift helps create belonging, inspire confidence, reward perseverance, strengthen community connections, open doors, and give Calistoga youth lasting hope for the future.

We train and match service dogs with veterans battling PTSD, first responders, and individuals with disabilities, at no cost to the recipient. Despite a two-year training process costing approximately $33,000/dog, every placement is funded through community support.

Our dogs learn 90 commands, guided by dedicated local “Puppy Parent” trainers who raise them at home. These volunteers are the heart of our program. Our dogs recognize signs of anxiety and distress, interrupt nightmares, support daily tasks, and rebuild recipients’ confidence and independence. Last year, we placed five dogs—a 13-year-old with muscular dystrophy, a seizure-alert recipient, an ex-DA threatened by gangs, and two PTSD veterans. Each story is one of resilience, and each dog, a cherished family member living a purposeful life.

We also serve the broader Napa Valley community through outreach programs, school visits, hospital and therapy center visits, and education for local businesses about ADA rules and the role service dogs play in public life.

Your support makes it possible to change lives for those who need it most. Our recipients tell us these dogs save lives, and with continued community investment, we can train more dogs, reach more individuals in need, and offer hope to more families.

Since 1996, CASA has helped thousands of abused and neglected children in foster care. These children are victims of physical, sexual, emotional abuse, and severe neglect. By state statute, there is only one CASA program in each county. CASA meets with the child weekly, forming a trusting relationship with the child and assessing their needs. During the time a child is in the foster care system, they will have, on average, five different social workers and three foster care placements. CASA is the only consistent adult who follows the child throughout the time they are in foster care. We build trusting relationships with the children, providing a caring, stable, and consistent adult to help children cope with adversity and develop resilience. Long-term, stable, and positive relationships with a trained adult are the single most important factor influencing positive outcomes for children in foster care. We provide educational, emotional, physical, and early intervention services for children of all ages. CASA provides children with essential and non-essential items. We love it when we can make a child’s day with the gift of a new backpack, bike, books, and other items.

Rainbow House is Napa County’s only emergency family shelter, providing a safe place for families with children when they suddenly lose housing due to job loss, medical crises, unexpected rent increases, or other hardships. For many, it is the first safe place where they can exhale and begin again.

At Catholic Charities of Northwest California (CCNWC), we believe every family deserves a safe place to land. Families of all backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures find more than a bed at Rainbow House; they find stability and support. They can sleep securely, lock the door behind them, and know they have caring staff walking alongside them while they access personalized case management and local resources that help them take steps toward permanent housing.

In 2025, Rainbow House served 63 family members, while CCNWC’s Napa programs supported 171 individuals. Between 2022 and 2024, 95 people found or retained housing, and to date in 2026, 100% of Rainbow House families have successfully moved into permanent housing.

Community support keeps this home open and welcoming. Every donation, volunteer hour, and partnership helps turn crisis into stability and uncertainty into hope, ensuring families have a place to belong and the opportunity to build stronger futures.

Common Table strengthens the Napa Valley community by creating welcoming spaces where people from all walks of life can gather, share meals, and build meaningful connections. At a time when loneliness and social isolation affect people of all ages, Common Table offers opportunities for neighbors to meet, reflect, and engage with one another in an atmosphere of warmth, belonging, and inclusion.

Our core program provides 13 free community meals each year, serving approximately 120–180 people per gathering and 1,500–2,000 meals annually. Guests sit together at shared tables, fostering conversation and relationships across generations, cultures, and backgrounds. There are no residency, income, faith, or other participation requirements, making Common Table a true social equalizer where everyone is welcome. Meals are prepared and served by volunteers, include vegetarian options, and emphasize sustainability through the use of reusable dishware.

Beyond meals, Common Table hosts special events such as health and wellness presentations, community concerts, and family-friendly activities that deepen engagement and strengthen local partnerships.

What began as a simple idea has become a valued community tradition. Food is the catalyst, but community is the goal: bringing people together, reducing isolation, and building a more connected, resilient, and caring Napa Valley.

CANV is dedicated to supporting the well-being and self-sufficiency of Napa Valley’s most vulnerable populations. Serving over 15,000 individuals monthly through its food pantries and delivering 450 daily meals to seniors at no charge via Meals on Wheels, CANV plays a crucial role in the community. Its unique CANV Kids program further supports families by providing nurturing care and educational opportunities for children.

What sets us apart is its deep local integration and responsiveness to the specific needs of Napa Valley residents. The organization’s operations are primarily powered by a dedicated volunteer workforce, enhancing its community-driven mission. This volunteer involvement not only expands our reach but also fortifies community connections, building a robust support network.

As a first responder during disasters, CANV’s role is vital in providing immediate aid and long-term support. This aligns with its mission to “provide services and resources that promote and encourage self-sufficiency of the most vulnerable members of our community,” making CANV indispensable in fostering a resilient and thriving Napa Valley.

Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of income, language, age, or circumstance. Yet for many Napa County residents, navigating the healthcare system can be challenging and overwhelming.

We help nearly 17,000 vulnerable children, families, and older adults each year overcome barriers to care. Our bilingual team of Medi-Cal, Covered California, and Medicare experts assists low- and moderate-income residents with obtaining and maintaining health coverage, guiding them through enrollment and renewal processes, resolving coverage issues, and ensuring they receive the benefits for which they qualify.

Beyond insurance enrollment, we help clients establish ongoing healthcare by connecting them with primary care providers, accessing in-network services, and obtaining behavioral health resources. We also provide hands-on support when language barriers, technology challenges, or complex healthcare systems stand in the way, helping clients schedule appointments, coordinate transportation, and navigate the care they need.

Cope Family Center is a Family Resource Center in downtown Napa that empowers parents to raise children who thrive. Through parent education, home visiting, emergency assistance, and connection to community resources, we help struggling families overcome challenges so they can build safe and stable homes for their children.

Many families in our community are facing significant stressors: rising costs, housing instability, immigration fears, and cuts to critical safety-net services. Without support, a parent’s stress can impact their children. Cope provides practical assistance to ease this burden on families. Last year alone, we distributed more than 21,000 diapers and nearly $35,000 in emergency aid, and we served over 1,500 parents and caregivers raising more than 2,000 children.

Thanks to generous community support from donors like you, our bilingual programs are offered at no cost, ensuring families can access the support they need when they need it. In partnership with the Napa County Child Abuse Prevention Council, we also lead community-wide efforts to prevent child abuse through education, advocacy, and mandated reporter training.

Together, we can strengthen families and help create safer, healthier futures for every child in our community.

We are a small, 100% volunteer fire station that is part of the greater Napa County Fire Department. We primarily serve the Deer Park area, answering an average of 600 calls each year. We are trained in all-risk emergency response services. Volunteers must either work or live in the response area and be available 24/7.

When the need arises, the Deer Park Fire Department is available to serve the entire Napa Valley community. We also regularly service St. Helena and Calistoga to the Napa County line. In the event of a large-scale wildfire, we may serve on extended duty for strike teams throughout the state.

The Station Fire House, which sits on the grounds of St. Helena Hospital, was built and funded by volunteers from the community in the late 1960s. Your continued support keeps our community safer and more prepared during emergencies.

DSCBA is the only regularly staffed organization specifically dedicated to serving the Down syndrome community in the nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area, including Napa County.

People with Down syndrome have an extra 21st chromosome, which can cause a range of physical and intellectual disabilities. The few available resources needed are difficult to find.

We are actively expanding our programming into Napa County. Each year, we offer free or low-cost access to supportive therapies, classes, one-on-one consultation, connection groups, and more for approximately 600–800 people of all ages with Down syndrome, as well as more than 2,000 family caregivers, medical providers, and education professionals. This work makes a long-term difference in the life success of people with Down syndrome.

For decades, this has been a place where blind and low vision people discover independence, confidence, leadership, and lifelong community. Nestled on 311 acres in the Napa Valley, Enchanted Hills provides experiences that many participants never thought possible, from swimming and hiking to leadership development and employment opportunities. More than half of the camp staff are former campers, and many are blind or low vision themselves, creating a powerful culture of mentorship and possibility.

After the devastating 2017 Nuns Fire destroyed much of the camp, we undertook an ambitious rebuilding effort to restore this treasured community resource and create a more accessible, resilient campus.

To sustain our rebuilt facility and the life-changing programs it supports, we launched Enchanted Hills Napa, a mission-driven social enterprise. Through retreats, events, and facility rentals, it generates revenue that directly supports camp operations, property maintenance, and LightHouse programs hosted throughout the year.

This innovative model allows us to preserve a unique Napa Valley destination while reducing reliance on donations alone. Every event hosted here helps expand access to recreation, education, and community for blind and low vision individuals, ensuring that Enchanted Hills Camp remains a place where people can build confidence, independence, and lifelong connections.

Our volunteers and staff pick up excess available food from restaurants, markets, grocery stores, and special events. We then safely transport and distribute the food to community-based organizations that focus on serving Napa County residents in need. Clients who benefit from our free food distributions include affordable housing residents, farm workers, shelter residents, and the working low-income.

Since our founding in 2018, we have recovered and distributed over 1,000,000 pounds of food. In 2025, we distributed 189,687 pounds of food, the equivalent of 158,073 meals, to over 6,600 people. We partnered with 87 food generator businesses to save their excess available food and 47 community-based organizations to distribute to those most vulnerable across Napa County.

We reduce or remove as many barriers as possible that prevent people from accessing food. We do not require any additional paperwork or identification, and we bring food to high-need communities or locations they are already accessing to minimize transportation and mobility barriers.

First 5 Napa impacts the community by creating opportunities for young children and families to thrive through programs and advocacy: safety, literacy, connection, and belonging.

The Safe Seat Program helps keep children safe by providing car seats to families who may not otherwise have access to these essential resources. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, children receive a free book each month from birth to age five, helping build home libraries and foster a lifelong love of reading. Belonging Through Books provides diverse and inclusive children’s books that help families see themselves reflected in stories while encouraging empathy, understanding, and meaningful conversations. The annual StoryWalk® brings literacy outdoors by transforming local parks and public spaces into interactive reading experiences, encouraging families to read together, stay active, and explore their community.

These programs are designed to meet families where they are and create meaningful experiences that support children’s development during their most critical early years. Beyond individual programs, we work to build a community where every child feels valued and every family feels supported.

By investing in young children today, we are helping create a stronger, healthier, and more connected Napa County for generations to come.

Every year, more than 1,600 abandoned, neglected, or surrendered animals arrive at the Napa County Animal Shelter, facing fear and an unknown future. While public funding provides essential shelter operations, it does not cover many lifesaving needs, such as specialized veterinary care, behavioral support, enrichment, and resources that help keep pets safely with the families who love them.

We serve the dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, chickens, and occasional livestock who enter the shelter, along with the Napa County families who care for them. We provide emergency medical funding, enrichment supplies, adoption support, and programs that change the trajectory of vulnerable lives. Through our Behavioral Assistance Program, professional training helps struggling dogs heal, gain confidence, and become more adoptable. Our Furever Family Assistance Program helps adopters navigate unexpected medical or behavioral challenges, keeping pets in loving homes. We also support microchipping, community outreach, and other efforts that strengthen animal welfare across Napa Valley.

Community support makes second chances possible. Donations, partnerships, and volunteers provide more than care—they provide comfort in crisis, healing after hardship, and hope for a new beginning. Together, we transform shelter experiences and build a more compassionate Napa County where animals and people thrive.

Imagine not being able to read, not being able to speak English, having no one to help with your homework, being unable to afford summer programs for your child, or being older and struggling with phones or tablets. Every day, through funding and volunteers, we play a pivotal role in ensuring our library can address these and many other pressing needs, from literacy and English-language learning to the Summer Reading Program and Memory Lab.

Our impact extends well beyond the library’s walls. We donate books to schools, laundromats, senior housing, local hospitals, family centers, and anywhere else reading can make a difference. We provide funds for youth bus passes and, recently, the creation of a monarch butterfly pollination station at the library. Most importantly, we provide thousands of free books to children each year, so they can celebrate the joy of reading and the cherished feeling of owning a book.

By promoting literacy and lifelong learning, we seek to expand opportunity for everyone. Your support keeps our library a vibrant center of learning, cultural enrichment, and community engagement, where everyone can find inspiration and a sense of belonging, from a young mother teaching a child to read to a senior citizen preserving memories.

Many girls in Napa face pressure around belonging, body image, and self-confidence during the critical pre-teen years, with limited access to programs that build both physical and emotional resilience. We close this gap with a research-based, after-school program that pairs movement with fun lessons building confidence, kindness, and resilience. They learn tools to manage stress, communicate with compassion, and know that they’re part of a community that supports them.

Trained volunteer coaches deliver our 8-week curriculum to 700+ girls annually between ages 8–13 in small-group, girls-only spaces. In our 20 years in Napa, we have impacted over 20,000 girls across Napa, Solano, and Sonoma. Over 1,200 girls and their families come together each year to complete a 5K run that represents the culmination of all of their learnings.

Last year, 85% of girls felt more confident after our program, and 99% felt their coaches genuinely cared about them, building a foundation of trust and confidence.

We want every girl to experience this program, regardless of their financial situation. Over 75% of our families require financial assistance. Your support helps cover registration costs, funds coach training, and covers supplies so every girl can experience proof of what she’s capable of.

A cancer diagnosis often creates significant financial hardship, impacting a family’s ability to pay for housing, utilities, transportation, groceries, and other essential needs during treatment. We provide direct financial assistance to help reduce these burdens, allowing patients and their families to maintain stability and focus on healing.

We serve individuals and families facing cancer treatment who are experiencing financial hardship. Assistance may include rent and mortgage payments, utilities, groceries, transportation, temporary lodging, and other household expenses not covered by traditional assistance programs. Patients are referred by healthcare providers, social workers, community organizations, and directly through applications. Since 2014, we have assisted more than 600 patients and families and distributed nearly $2 million in direct financial support.

Community support makes this work possible. Donations, sponsorships, volunteers, and partnerships help us respond quickly when families need help most. Beyond financial assistance, our support provides peace of mind, allowing patients to focus on treatment, recovery, and time with loved ones rather than worrying about paying their bills.

If Given a Chance empowers resilient Napa County high school students who have faced extraordinary challenges to transform their lives through education. In any year, we provide support for up to fifty students from Napa County as they pursue college and the trades.

We understand that education is a powerful catalyst for change. We offer resources including college counseling, financial literacy, mental health support, career counseling, and financial assistance to ensure student success. We work with students in cohorts of ten starting their senior year of high school to ensure that they receive the individualized attention they need to succeed. As a result, the 2026 high school class will be attending schools such as the University of Chicago (full ride), New York University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Davis, Napa Valley College, and Skyline College. We then continue to provide support throughout four years of college.

We have witnessed remarkable transformations, and many of our students come back to strengthen the community, becoming local leaders, owning their own small businesses, working at The Queen, and more.

Help us champion these remarkable young individuals, breaking the cycle of adversity and fostering contributions to our community.

Each year, IIBA provides critical outreach, education, and immigration legal services to over 1,000 immigrants in Napa County—nearly half of whom work in the wine or hospitality industry. We help keep families together by protecting their constitutional rights, developing emergency response plans, and ensuring they feel safe, supported, and secure. Through services including naturalization, DACA renewals, asylum petitions, U visas for survivors of violence, and rapid response services, IIBA is stabilizing and reuniting families, stopping deportations, and helping survivors, Dreamers, and future citizens build stable, thriving lives.

Your support can change the lives of some of Napa County’s most vulnerable community members. Napa Valley Community Foundation invited IIBA to open our Napa office in 2013 to close this county’s citizenship gap. Since then, we have helped over 15,000 immigrant residents in the Napa Valley. Over 2,500 Napa residents have become U.S. citizens, more than 15,000 have received legal advice, and over 8,500 have filed applications for immigration relief.

Napa Valley values our immigrant neighbors, recognizing the essential roles immigrants have in our community. Help us remove barriers so that all community members can reach their fullest potential.

Our organization provides essential services and resources to first responders and veterans that are often unavailable elsewhere. We strive to cover the costs of necessary mental and physical health services for individuals who would otherwise lack access. We have funded over 25 therapy sessions and 15 holistic health services for correctional officers, first responders and their families, and veterans who require immediate access and would be unable to afford the care they needed. Our services are crucial to our community, particularly as burnout and mental health challenges continue to rise among first responders and veterans. Mandated overtime, increased call volumes, increasingly disturbing events, long deployments, and extensive physical demands, all compounded by limited recovery time and insufficient mental and physical support, underscore the importance of our initiatives to preserve our first responders and veterans. Support is essential in addressing the growing demand for holistic care for those facing burnout, thoughts of suicide, and PTSD. Community funding also helps us purchase wellness tools we loan out to support healing. Your support actively combats PTSD and its devastating effects on families; partner with us as we strive to be the link that changes the statistics. Funding goes directly to those we serve.

Protecting the Heart of Napa Valley

We are dedicated to preserving, protecting, and promoting the Agricultural Preserve and farmlands throughout Napa—the foundation of our region’s rural character and agricultural heritage since 1968. Our mission is to conserve this irreplaceable landscape by educating the public and local leaders about the Ag Preserve’s history and the vital role protected farmland plays in sustaining Napa communities.

We put this mission into action through education, strategic partnerships, and targeted grants that strengthen the resilience of the local community and surrounding lands. In addition to funding agricultural scholarships and public education initiatives, we support on-the-ground projects with local partners, including habitat restoration efforts with Napa RCD, wildfire resilience through Napa Firewise, and expansion of the Napa Valley Vine Trail to connect communities to the landscape. We also advance the digitization of historical Ag Preserve records with the UC Davis Library to ensure public access.

Community support enables us to protect not only farmland but also the ecosystems and connectivity that sustain Napa Valley. Donations help expand restoration, resilience, and education efforts—preserving a landscape that provides both economic and environmental benefits. Together, we ensure Napa County’s agricultural legacy endures for generations!

LNV is Napa Valley’s premier organization for leadership development and engagement, attracting talented citizens from all sectors of community life: business, nonprofit, government, the arts, and the academic world. Modeled after nationally recognized programs, LNV is broadly acknowledged as one of the best leadership training experiences in the Napa Valley. The LNV program identifies, trains, and motivates current and future leaders through this dynamic program. Through meaningful interaction with businesses, nonprofit organizations, and local municipalities, LNV participants are able to learn about, analyze, and create solutions for the most pressing issues at both the local and global levels. More than 800 leaders have graduated from the program and have progressed with a deeper commitment to making Napa Valley a better place to live, work, and grow.

In its distinguished 25-year history, LAPS volunteers have shared thousands of smiles with Napa’s most vulnerable residents through high-quality and engaging Animal-Assisted Interactions. We serve children living with emotional or learning difficulties, teens and young adults dealing with life’s stresses, seniors in assisted living and memory care, and patients in skilled nursing facilities.

Dedicated volunteers and their pets learn true therapy skills during a multi-week training class, which includes assessments for working with children, teens, and fragile elderly. LAPS volunteers and friends participate in diverse role-playing scenarios so new teams can practice their skills. All teams are tested to the highest standards every two years and mentored throughout their careers. LAPS welcomes dogs, cats, bunnies, mini-horses, and mini-donkeys as therapy partners.

LAPS is most proud of its unmatched safety record and volunteer satisfaction. Volunteers report their own lives are greatly enriched by spending time with clients of all ages, with their certified therapy pets by their sides. Friendships are forged; memories are made.

With community support, LAPS aims to attract and train new volunteers eager to make a tangible difference to others. Every dollar raised brings us closer to a more connected, compassionate Napa—one smile at a time.

As Napa Valley’s premier theatre company, Lucky Penny Productions creates, develops, and presents professional-quality theatre and fosters educational opportunities for youth and adults in our community. Lucky Penny is a grassroots company, founded and operated by volunteers who have the passion to make Napa Valley’s arts scene as strong as it can be. Through dramatic and musical performances, Lucky Penny offers opportunities for local artists and musicians to thrive, both on stage and off. Through LP’s youth training program, youth are encouraged to explore their passion for the arts, and it gives them an outlet to express themselves, grow, and learn in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. LP is passionate about giving back to the community by offering fundraising opportunities throughout the year to other nonprofit organizations and through accessible programs such as “pay-what-you-can” nights, which allow individuals of all financial means to enjoy the arts. Lucky Penny is the Napa Valley’s choice for live, local theatrical entertainment.

At Mentis, we provide bilingual, accessible, and affordable mental health services to people of all ages and income levels, with programs ranging from prevention to treatment. We work to create a strengthened community in Napa County by equipping local youth, adults, and elders with the tools they need to live emotionally healthy lives.

By bringing together the voices of our clients with those of our therapists, we co-create programs and services that directly reflect Napa County’s mental health needs. Mentis is a crucial part of the community’s safety net—we serve over 4,500 people annually, and we are the only mental health provider in Napa for uninsured individuals. Additionally, all services are offered in both English and Spanish.

Each year, over 80% of therapy clients show a significant reduction in symptoms as a result of our treatment services, and 85% of prevention activity participants report that our programs have made a meaningful impact on their ability to cope with mental health challenges.

What We Do

Too many seniors face isolation, limited mobility, and barriers to remaining safely in their homes. Molly’s Angels helps older adults who might otherwise fall through the cracks maintain independence, stay connected to their community, and age in place with dignity. Through volunteer support, including rides to medical appointments and regular check-in calls, we ensure no senior navigates aging alone.

Our Programs

• Transportation, Paratransit, and the Angels Express Van for medical appointments, essential services, and community outings
• Care Calls providing regular connection for isolated seniors
• Handmade birthday cards from local schools and community groups
• Napa Long Term Care Ombudsman Program supporting resident rights and advocacy
• Emergency grocery and prescription delivery
• Senior Moments radio show sharing resources and connection

In the past year, we served more than 1,200 seniors, provided over 51,000 miles of transportation, and made more than 7,700 care calls.

Why Support Matters

Community support makes this work possible. Every ride, call, and interaction with seniors is powered by volunteers and donors who ensure older adults are not left alone. These moments of connection bring dignity, comfort, and belonging, helping seniors feel seen, supported, and valued.

We provide a safe, trauma-informed space where survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking can access coordinated support services under one roof.

By partnering with public and private agencies throughout Napa County, we reduce barriers to care and help individuals and families navigate crisis with dignity, safety, and compassion. We connect survivors of all ages and backgrounds to legal assistance, law enforcement support, confidential advocacy, counseling, safety planning, housing resources, and health-related services. Our collaborative model reduces the need for survivors to travel between multiple agencies or repeatedly share their stories, creating a more supportive path toward healing and stability.

Through outreach, prevention education, and direct services, we have supported thousands of community members while increasing awareness and access to critical resources. Community support allows us to continue providing comprehensive, survivor-centered care to those facing violence and abuse. Donations, volunteers, and partnerships strengthen our ability to meet urgent needs, expand prevention efforts, restore hope, and help build a safer, more informed Napa Valley community.

For 28 years, Moving Forward has provided tools and support for adults with developmental, learning, and autism spectrum disabilities to build the skills, confidence, and independence needed to learn to live independently and thrive. We offer a safe, supportive environment where residents who might otherwise face isolation can develop meaningful relationships, pursue employment, and lead productive, healthy, and fulfilling lives.

We serve approximately 40 adults through our program. Services include independent living instruction, vocational training, cooking, budgeting, fitness, art, music, dance, and social skills development. Residents participate in weekly volunteer opportunities, recreational outings, Special Olympics, and community events that promote inclusion and engagement.

Some residents have pets and live with roommates or independently with daily support from a caring team. Most importantly, they are not isolated; they are part of a community where they are known, valued, and included, with friends to share meals, activities, and everyday life.

Through our programs, residents build lasting friendships, meaningful relationships, and a strong sense of belonging in the community. For many, this is the first time they experience true friendship and inclusion. Community partnerships and support sustain our mission and ensure adults with disabilities can live with dignity, hope, and belonging.

Our all-volunteer, foster-based rabbit rescue started out in November 2019 when several individuals came together to clear a dump site of domestic rabbits in the city of Napa. Our mission is to improve the lives of rabbits and reduce the number of unwanted rabbits through education and spay/neuter efforts. In addition to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming, we focus on the welfare of domestic rabbits and educating the public on the responsible and proper care of rabbits as indoor companions.

Rabbits make wonderful companions, but their needs are often misunderstood. In 2025, we continued to demonstrate the importance of accessible veterinary services, education, training, and community partnerships. We directly impacted the lives of nearly 300 rabbits. We rescued 71 rabbits, rehomed 62, saw 133 rabbits at our community clinics, and facilitated 26 additional procedures. These subsidized procedures allowed rabbits to get the care they needed when their guardians were unable to afford them. At our essentials pantry, we distributed 300 pounds of food pellets, 150 pounds of hay, and other supplies. Through educational and prevention-focused services, we reached countless bunny guardians. Occasionally, this means helping someone determine that a rabbit is not the right fit for their family.

Napa CART works year-round to provide disaster preparedness resources for pet owners and to keep the community updated during weather events and fire incidents. We train volunteers to evacuate and shelter large and small animals, and we work with city and county first responders to ensure the best possible outcomes for animals in disasters.

Napa CART remains on call 24/7 and can be dispatched at a moment’s notice to assist with the evacuation and sheltering of animals in need. Established in 2016, the team has responded to several large-scale fires regionally and continues to work with local and state leaders to elevate options for animals in disasters.

NCBC is the only nonprofit wholly dedicated to improving active transportation countywide. We work to make riding a bicycle safe, convenient, and accessible for riders of all ages and abilities so that everyone can experience the joy and benefits of biking.

We educate: free Safe Routes to School bicycle safety education reaches over 1,500 elementary school students per school year countywide, and we distribute hundreds of helmets to those in need. Community rides, workshops, and bike rodeos teach traffic safety, bike handling skills, and essential maintenance knowledge to youth and adults.

We advocate: we work with local governments, often speaking at community and public meetings, to champion safer streets for all and secure improvements like separated bike lanes.

We encourage: Bike to Work and School Days engage 3,000 local youth and adults in healthy, active transportation. Napa Bikefest offers bicycle resources and community-building to over 1,000 attendees. Bike valet provides free, secure parking for over 1,000 bikes per year, making local events more bike-friendly and sustainable.

We are a community coalition of staff, board members, volunteers, members, and supporters who believe that biking enriches quality of life through improved health, cleaner air, reduced transportation costs, and stronger community connections.

When someone goes missing, time is critical. We address one of the most urgent public safety needs in our community—locating missing, lost, or injured individuals and bringing answers to their families. Our trained volunteer team stands ready to respond quickly and effectively in any environment, day or night.

We serve Napa County and surrounding areas at the request of the Napa County Sheriff’s Office and California Office of Emergency Services. Our volunteers train 15–25 hours each month and donate over 3,600 hours annually to search missions and training. We deploy ground teams, K9 units, and technical rescue resources to locate lost children, at-risk adults, hikers, and others in distress, and we provide mutual aid to neighboring counties when needed.

As a 100% volunteer organization, we fund our own equipment and operate at no cost to those we serve. Community support is essential to sustain training, readiness, and lifesaving response capabilities. Your support ensures we can act quickly, save lives when possible, and bring answers and closure to families when it matters most.

We feed families fresh, local fruits and veggies. As Napa County’s largest California Certified Farmers Market, our mission is to support local farmers and provide an inclusive place for our community to purchase farm-fresh, sustainably grown produce and specialty foods directly from the source. In 2025, we served 750 families through our food assistance programs, and over $206,000 was spent by people and families with low incomes to purchase fresh produce and food from our farmers and vendors.

In addition to putting more nutritious food on the table of households with low incomes, our Market Match program, which doubles CalFresh (“food stamp”) benefits to purchase fruits and veggies, supports the livelihood of local farmers with increased sales. Since starting the program in 2012, we’ve matched over $475,000 in CalFresh benefits. Last year, Market Match funds purchased an estimated 170,210 servings of nutritious, locally grown fruits and veggies. Your donation helps us do our part to fight local food insecurity, increase equitable access to sustainably grown produce, and grow community around local food!

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.

At Napa Humane, we believe the power of prevention is the key to reducing pet homelessness and animal suffering in our community. As Napa County’s only year-round, below-market-rate spay/neuter clinic operating five days a week, we provide accessible services that keep pets healthy, families together, and animals out of shelters before a crisis begins.

Through affordable spay/neuter services, preventive veterinary care, humane education, and behavior support, we address challenges before they become emergencies. In 2025, we performed 4,319 spay/neuter surgeries, helped prepare 1,181 shelter and rescue pets for adoption, provided 2,829 vaccinations, and educated 3,654 Napa County students about kindness and responsible pet ownership.

Every service Napa Humane provides is an investment in prevention—reducing future shelter intake, preventing unnecessary suffering, strengthening the bond between people and their pets, and building a more compassionate community. By investing in prevention today, Napa Humane is creating healthier pets, stronger families, and lasting change for Napa County.

Our league provides organized Little League baseball programs. We serve more than 700 youth athletes in the Napa Valley. This includes both boys and girls, ages 4–14, including a dedicated special needs division called “Challengers.”

We run a robust spring program and hold a more development-focused fall program. With each season, our league aims to teach fundamentals of the game, grit, and sportsmanship. We foster a sense of community within our players and families, so much so that a lot of kids develop lifelong friendships while playing for our league.

As a nonprofit and a 100% volunteer-run organization, we rely on community support to maintain and improve our fields, equipment, and overall program operations. We are committed to ensuring every eligible player can participate in our programs, regardless of financial circumstances.

We are a strong support network of mothers, for mothers, designed to help each other navigate the challenges of parenthood. Napa Moms supports over 700 families in the Napa Valley by offering targeted resources and assistance. Our programs and services provide a safe and welcoming environment for moms and families to connect and build community throughout Napa County.

We strive to ensure that all mothers, regardless of their background or circumstances, feel included and supported.

In 2025, we hosted 250+ families at the Childhood Expo, hosted weekly playdates, and participated in large community events. During Earth Day and Kids Day, we created a lounge space for mothers to privately feed their children, rehydrate, and recharge. We held private member events, including book clubs, moms’ and dads’ nights out, family picnics, and holiday events. We posted monthly mommy wellness checks, offered school resources, gave 60+ member scholarships, and provided other financial support to families in need.

Building on decades of community impact, the Napa Parks and Recreation Foundation (NPRF) is asking for your help to bring a universal changing table to the new restroom facility planned for Fuller Park.

For many children, teens, and adults with mobility, developmental, or medical needs, standard public restrooms do not offer a suitable support structure for personal care. Your donation will help provide a safe and secure facility that allows caregivers to assist loved ones with comfort, privacy, and dignity—giving them peace of mind and the opportunity to more fully enjoy our public spaces.

Since 1988, NPRF has partnered with the City of Napa to enhance parks, recreation programs, and community facilities that improve quality of life for residents and visitors. By securing grants and community donations, NPRF funds capital improvements, cultural events, urban forestry initiatives, and recreation scholarships that expand access to parks and programs throughout Napa. During last year’s Give!Guide campaign, NPRF provided recreation scholarships to more than 50 local families, helping dozens of children learn the life-saving skill of swimming, as well as participate in camps and other programs.

Let’s continue to build a more accessible, connected, and inclusive Napa for everyone!

Based in Napa County, we’re your local partner in caring for the land, water, soil, wildlife, and each other. Napa RCD helps build climate-resilient communities and thriving natural spaces by working directly with the people who live and work in the county.

Last year, we connected over 1,300 local youth to nature through hands-on environmental education. Annually, we host workshops for 250+ adults on everything from water-wise gardening to soil health and fire-smart land care. More than 900 volunteers roll up their sleeves with us to clean up creeks, plant native trees, and restore habitat.

We also visit 200+ properties annually to offer expert advice on forest health, pollinator habitat, and sustainable land practices. And we’re in the field surveying fish populations and leading restoration projects that help make the Napa River healthier for all.

At Napa RCD, we believe that taking care of natural resources means taking care of our community—now and for the future.

The Napa River watershed is one of Napa Valley’s greatest natural resources, yet many residents face barriers to experiencing and caring for it. We strengthen community, protect the watershed, and inspire lifelong environmental stewardship by providing free, hands-on programs that connect people of all ages with nature.

We serve Napa County residents through environmental education, outdoor experiences, stewardship projects, after-school and summer programs, and community events. Each year, volunteers and community members remove over 1,300 pounds of litter (and 7 cubic yards of trash) and restore over 5,500 square feet of habitat through efforts such as community ice plant removal and student Watershed Protectors programming. These experiences engage thousands of residents in caring for the watershed while building environmental literacy and a lasting connection to place.

Community support, donations, sponsorships, and volunteers make this work possible. These investments keep our programs free, expand opportunities for more residents to participate, and help grow the Napa River Ecology Center as a lasting community resource where people can learn, connect, and protect the Napa River watershed for generations to come.

Our goal is to enhance the lives of over 1,200 Napa State Hospital patients. We work with Enhanced Patient Services, Social Workers, and Rehabilitation Therapists who host the many forms of artistic rehabilitation, recreation, entertainment, and holiday celebrations for the patients. The funds we raise are gifted to the hospital’s Patient Benefit Fund, which gives each patient $5 during the holidays and in their birthday month. $5 might seem like a small amount; however, to the patients, it means the world to be thought of during these special holidays. We also seek to reduce the stigma of supporting mental health services.

CanDo connects, inspires, and empowers neighbors to take positive action through volunteerism. Our projects are based on a commitment to address unmet community needs. CanDo created the Give!Guide, and we are proud that it has raised $ 8.6 million for 180 local nonprofits since 2013.

Four of CanDo’s other current projects address food insecurity: Garden for the Food Bank, Food Rescue Team, Napa Valley Food Project, and the Gleaning Project. Since 2014, we’ve grown, collected, or gleaned a total of 837,562 pounds of food plus $166,917 in donations! It has all gone directly to the CAN-V Food Bank, or through our partnership with Feeding It Forward Napa Valley, to our neighbors who need it most.

 Pro-Inclusion Napa promotes understanding and tolerance throughout our community by developing programs based on our core values of respect, acceptance, and kindness. The Pro-Inclusion Napa Positive Poster Project continues to inspire local youth in classrooms and at community events. The Positive Yard Sign campaign amplifies the message of inclusivity and compassion throughout our community in both Spanish and English.

Our Neighborhood Reads volunteers keep Little Free Libraries around town stocked with a fresh supply of books for young readers.

CanDo is an all-volunteer organization with no membership requirements. We stay connected via a monthly electronic Newsletter that highlights done-in-a-day volunteer opportunities and community events.

Our orchestra is comprised of mostly volunteer string players who are committed to sharing our love of classical music with the entire Napa Valley community. We keep our concerts accessible to all with free admission. Donor contributions help us pay for section leaders, a conductor, concert soloists, music rental, venue rental, and fees that all nonprofit organizations incur. Our rehearsals are intergenerational and provide mentoring opportunities for the orchestra members. We wish to inspire children in the schools as well. In 2025–2026, we sponsored a school program that was a wonderful success. Five NVCO members narrated and played Dan Brown’s acclaimed Wild Symphony, a rousing set of poems in the style of Dr. Seuss, depicting 20 wild animals. A principal at one of the schools stated that “students were more inspired than ever to pursue musical opportunities at school.” This program will continue in the 2026–2027 school year.

Napa Valley COAD empowers our most vulnerable neighbors to prepare for, survive, and recover from disasters. We uniquely coordinate local nonprofits to plan and exercise before crises strike, while actively bridging service gaps through our Community Connectors Project. Our four dedicated Connectors meet residents directly, helping them navigate available resources and uncovering deeper, long-term needs beyond their initial requests.

Your donation impacts senior citizens, low-to-moderate-income families, and Adults with Functional Needs (AFN)—populations facing the highest risks. Local data reveals 52% of low-income households and 43% of seniors lack emergency plans, while 79% of Latine residents earn under $50K annually, limiting their ability to prepare.

To ensure true equity, all of our materials and services are bilingual in English and Spanish. Your generosity fuels these vital efforts, allowing us to:

• Deliver critical workshops (Meet Your Neighbor, Renters Insurance, Until Help Arrives, Hands-Only CPR) and distribute essential Go Bag/Stay Box supplies.
• Distribute essential disaster preparedness materials and equipment ideal for starting a Go Bag or Stay Box.
• Sustain our Community Connectors as they guide vulnerable residents toward resilience.

By supporting NVCOAD, you ensure no Napa County resident is left behind before, during, or after a disaster.

Our mission is to provide every Napa Valley College (NVC) student access to an exceptional, relevant, and affordable education. We provide philanthropic support to the college, its programs, students, and teaching initiatives and raise capital funds for workforce training facilities to meet the needs of the Napa economy. For many students, a higher education would not be possible without the assistance of scholarships. 47% of NVC students identify as Latinx/Hispanic, and more than 30% are the first in their families to receive a college degree. We engage the Napa community by cultivating relationships, initiating partnerships, and harnessing generosity for our students. The cornerstone of our fund development program is our scholarship program, which has allowed us to assist over 1,000 students through the award of more than $1M in the past six years. Last year, we awarded $332,000 in scholarships to 193 students.

We help Napa County residents stay rooted in the community they call home by developing and preserving affordable housing and surrounding residents with practical support. In a region where housing costs continue to push working families, seniors, agricultural workers, and vulnerable neighbors out, we provide stable homes and long-term stewardship.

Today, we own 518 homes across 19 properties, serving nearly 1,900 residents, including families, seniors, veterans, agricultural workers, and individuals in supportive housing. Through Resident Services, we bring programs directly to residents where they live, including wellness classes, tutoring, leadership development, food connections, referrals, and trusted guidance. Our team connects residents to nearly 100 local nonprofits and partners for health care, legal aid, education, employment, and other essential resources. Affordable housing is more than shelter. It gives children room to learn, seniors the dignity to age in place, and working families the chance to remain part of Napa Valley’s future. Donor support helps us preserve homes, strengthen resident services, and build a more equitable community where every neighbor has a safe place to live and the tools to thrive.

We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to discover their strengths, explore career possibilities, and build a future filled with opportunity. Yet many students lack access to the experiences, mentors, and connections that help them see what’s possible beyond the classroom. Since 1983, we have partnered with schools, families, and local employers to expand educational opportunities for Napa County students.

We serve approximately 18,000 students and support more than 1,000 educators across Napa County through career readiness, music education, youth wellness, and classroom innovation programs. More than 6,000 students participate annually in arts and enrichment experiences, and over $1.3 million in teacher grants has funded innovative classroom projects. Our new Discovery Campus in downtown Napa is expanding access to hands-on learning in fields such as culinary arts, robotics, and emerging technologies, giving students opportunities to develop practical skills and connect classroom learning to real-world futures.

Community support helps us grow these opportunities and ensure they are accessible to all students. Donations connect young people to experiences they might not otherwise have, strengthen Napa Valley’s future workforce, and help students graduate with the skills, confidence, and direction to thrive. When students succeed, our entire community benefits.

Napa Valley’s vineyard workers are essential to our wine industry’s success, yet many face barriers to education, leadership, and career advancement. The Foundation exists to remove those barriers by supporting and promoting vineyard workers through education and professional development. Working in partnership with employers and the community, we provide a clear pathway for growth through programs in adult literacy, family and community, leadership, mentorship, and viticulture and safety.

In 2025, more than 1,100 farmworkers took part in our programs. We invest in families and youth—delivering 600 community resource bags to farmworker families and mentoring students through the Patrick Foley Fields of Opportunity program. When you invest in Napa Valley’s farmworkers, the impact reaches far beyond a single classroom. It shows up in a worker who speaks up at a meeting for the first time, a parent who can now plan for their family’s future, and a young person who sees a real career ahead in the vineyards they grew up around.

Support builds more than skills—it builds belonging, pride, and confidence. It tells the people who make Napa Valley thrive that their work is valued and their growth matters.

Since 1974, NVGS has helped residents and visitors in Napa Valley connect with the stories and lives of their ancestors through the study of genealogy. We’re a community hub for ancestral exploration. Through our library, education programs, and trusted research support, we help people uncover forgotten family histories. Each discovery produces more than facts—it fosters understanding and helps ensure that the people who came before us are never lost to time.

Using our genealogical expertise, library, and research resources, we help members of the broader Napa Valley community discover, preserve, and share the stories of their ancestors. We aim to reach residents and visitors of all research levels, ages, and ethnicities. By preserving and sharing family history, we strengthen connection, deepen understanding, and create lasting roots for future generations.

Your support helps ensure that family stories are explored and remembered. Our library has been a trusted community resource for more than 50 years and is the only one of its kind in the Napa Valley. Your gift allows us to maintain irreplaceable local records, provide invaluable research support, and broaden our reach throughout the community.

NVGS is operated entirely by volunteers and receives no regular external funding.

We provide essential funding, volunteers, and community support to keep Bothe Napa Valley State Park, Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park, and Robert Louis Stevenson State Park open and thriving. Together, these parks protect over 7,000 acres of forests, creeks, and historic sites. Each year, we help to maintain miles of trails, care for native habitats, and share local history. We deliver hands-on educational programs to over 1,000 Napa County students annually, often covering transportation for schools in need. Volunteers dedicate hundreds of hours to raising funds, maintaining trails, caring for native habitats, guiding hikes, and leading activities at community events. Donations restore historic buildings, fund vital park upgrades, and ensure these parks remain maintained, open, and welcoming for all.

Every person deserves the opportunity to contribute, connect, and thrive in their community. We support adults with developmental disabilities in Napa County by creating pathways to employment, personal growth, artistic expression, and community inclusion. Our mission is to enhance and support quality of life through self-discovery, education, employment, and meaningful community engagement.

Each year, we serve nearly 200 individuals through three core programs. Our employment services help people prepare for, obtain, and maintain jobs in the community. Our career exploration and day program provides skill-building, volunteer opportunities, and community-based experiences that promote independence and confidence. Through our Brown Street Gallery and art studio, artists with disabilities create, exhibit, and sell their work while building connections with the broader community.

Community support helps make these opportunities possible. Donations, volunteers, and partnerships allow us to expand services, create new opportunities, and respond to individual needs that funding alone does not cover. Beyond measurable outcomes, our work fosters belonging, dignity, purpose, and inclusion. Together, we are building a Napa Valley where people of all abilities are valued, visible, and empowered to reach their full potential.

The Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition is a grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in the Napa Valley by creating a 47-mile multi-use trail separate from cars.

We serve the Napa Valley community to create a safer place for people to connect outdoors while protecting our natural resources. The Napa Valley Vine Trail® serves as an important asset that increases bike and pedestrian safety, provides alternative transportation choices, shifts cars off the highway, offers free access to healthy lifestyle options, and provides fun outdoor recreational opportunities for all ages and abilities.

There are 14.5 miles left to build in 2 sections through 6 towns. We maintain 30 miles of the trail for everyone to enjoy a free and safer way to explore Napa Valley. NVVTC has committed to a 50% match of community support to build and maintain the trail. Your gift to the Vine Trail creates a greener, safer, healthier Napa Valley.

Music changes lives, yet young people face barriers to high-quality instrumental music and ensemble training because of cost, limited school programs, or a lack of advanced performance opportunities. We ensure every aspiring musician—regardless of background or financial circumstance—has access to exceptional instrumental music education, artistic mentorship, and transformative performance experiences.

Each season, we serve over 100 musicians ages 8–20. As Napa Valley’s only complete instrumental music education program and orchestral pathway, we guide students from their first ensemble experience through pre-professional artistry. As an essential educational partner, we strengthen—not replace—public and private school music programs while collaborating with local educators, conductors, and teaching artists. Our musicians receive nearly 3,200 minutes of instruction, rehearsals, coaching, and performances each season, including professional masterclasses, nationally recognized festivals, educational tours, community concerts, and performances on world-class stages such as Carnegie Hall and Vienna’s Musikverein.

We proudly cultivate one of Napa Valley’s most ethnically and socioeconomically diverse youth arts communities. Every musician benefits from 100% subsidized tuition, and this season, 30% have requested additional need-based scholarships. Community support makes more than exceptional music education possible—it builds confident musicians, compassionate leaders, resilient teammates, engaged citizens, and lifelong advocates for the arts.

Napa Wildlife Rescue is the only organization in Napa County licensed to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured, orphaned, and ill wildlife. When wildlife is harmed by cars, habitat loss, poisoning, window strikes, or other catastrophes, we are often their only chance for survival.

Since 2013, we have cared for more than 18,000 wild animals. In 2025, we treated 1,983 patients representing 120 species, a 39% increase in intakes over the prior year. At the same time, our HAWKline wildlife hotline received more than 2,800 calls from residents seeking guidance on wildlife situations, a 58% increase from 2024.

Our free education program builds compassion and stewardship for the natural world in over 1,200 local elementary students through classroom lessons on wildlife, biodiversity, and coexistence. Through our Barn Owl Maintenance Project, we partner with the agricultural community to support natural rodent control by monitoring and maintaining barn owl nesting boxes.

Increased patients and rising costs have put a strain on our budget, and we are on pace to see even higher intakes this year. Community support makes this lifesaving work possible, ensuring injured and orphaned wildlife receive care while helping keep Napa wild for future generations.

We are a medically licensed free clinic. Our RN, with over 30 years’ experience, provides pregnancy testing and limited obstetric ultrasounds in a safe, professional, compassionate environment. Volunteer client advocates provide peer counseling, emotional support, and referrals to other trusted partners for our clients. All our services are free and confidential.

Families in Napa County are struggling to provide basic needs, including food, housing, medical care, diapers, clothing, and baby formula. At our center, we walk alongside them. We provide immediate help with essential items through our baby boutique, prenatal education, advocate support, personalized community resource referrals, and ongoing education into early childhood.

Our Earn While You Learn program, with over 200 classes, offers essential information on prenatal development, birth, and parenting. When the clients have finished the classes, they can earn free essentials such as car seats, strollers, and cribs.

We have served over 550 clients with free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, diapers, baby clothing, and formula so that families can continue to grow and thrive. Please help us to keep serving our community and support the growing number of families in need in Napa County.

We believe that young scientist interns can help solve some of healthcare’s biggest challenges when given meaningful opportunities, mentorship, and support. We address gaps in access to hands-on STEM education by connecting students with real-world research in neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and biomedical engineering.

Since 2017, we have provided internships and research opportunities to more than 50 high school and college students, primarily from the Napa Valley. Students work alongside our scientists, physicians, engineers, and business professionals, gaining experience in research, innovation, leadership, teamwork, and public presentation. More than 95% of our interns have continued to college, many pursuing careers in science, medicine, engineering, and healthcare. Several former interns remain involved with our projects as mentors and volunteers, helping guide the next generation of student scientists.

Our research programs focus on improving healthcare access for underserved communities. Students contribute to projects such as the Virtual Neurologist, an AI-powered diagnostic system designed to expand access to neurological expertise, and the Coma Buster, a technology to support recovery after severe brain injury. We also provide scholarships to outstanding interns pursuing higher education.

Community support helps us expand internship opportunities, provide educational resources, fund student-led research, and ensure that financial barriers never prevent talented students from participating.

For 45 years, we have been Napa County’s dedicated resource for survivors of domestic violence (DV) and sexual assault (SA), providing safety, healing, and hope when people need it most. DThe generous matching of every donation to NEWS during this year’s Give!Guide up to $25,000 has been met.  and SA create lasting barriers to safety, housing, health, and stability, affecting not only survivors but families and the broader community. We believe everyone deserves to live free from violence and fear.

We put this belief into action through free, confidential, and voluntary services that meet survivors with compassion, dignity, and respect, including 24/7 crisis response, emergency shelter, advocacy, counseling, housing support, children’s services, prevention education, and youth programs. As Napa County’s Rape Crisis Center, we provide specialized, wrap-around support for sexual assault survivors of all ages. In FY24/25, we served nearly 1,700 survivors, responded to over 2,000 Help Line calls, and provided emergency shelter to 32 adults and 42 children. Our bilingual, culturally responsive team helps survivors navigate crisis, creating stability and healing.

Community support makes this work possible. Donations, partnerships, and volunteers ensure survivors are met with compassion, dignity, resources, and someone to stand beside them. Together, we help create safer homes, stronger families, and a Napa Valley where every person has the opportunity to thrive.

Art has the power to cross boundaries and bring people together, to empower, and to heal, yet access to quality arts programming remains out of reach for many in Napa Valley. For more than 20 years, we have worked to change that, serving as a community art center built on one core belief: art belongs to everyone.

At our studios in St. Helena and at the new Nimbus Riverside Studios in downtown Napa, we serve community members from age 2 to 102: children in summer camps, teens in free weekly programs, adults in studio classes, community members at free community art workshops, and at-risk/at-promise youth at Napa County Court and Community Schools and Juvenile Hall. Our mobile art studio, the Nim+BUS, brings art workshops on location across the Napa Valley.

Donations make art accessible to those who need it most—funding scholarships, free programs, and free community workshops. They sustain arts classes and the transformative moment when a person—young or old—signs their name to a finished work and realizes they have created something real. Your support builds belonging, confidence, and hope across Napa Valley.

Napa Parks & Recreation doesn’t offer any athletic programs for teenagers. Fortunately, OYB remains a rare, local, and inexpensive program that serves Napa County’s teenagers. During the 2025–2026 season, over 300 kids participated in our various activities. Youth sports provide lasting physical, mental, and social benefits while accenting life skills such as resilience and teamwork that extend well into adulthood. In this era of teenage obesity crises and concerns about kids spending excessive time on social media, our kids in grades 6–12 play basketball throughout the fall and winter seasons. Additionally, we have conducted spring, summer, and fall clinics over the last several years.

Since 1979, we have provided a safe, affordable, and active environment for Napa County’s youth where they can develop and prosper into productive young men and women while getting much-needed exercise. We look forward to continuing to provide the community with a youth basketball program that is focused on fun for all who participate.

OYB costs several hundred dollars less than other local sports programs. Every person who registers is assigned to a team regardless of skill or ability to pay. All activities are conducted by volunteers, and there are no fees to attend games.

We provide hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) learning to inspire the next generation of innovators and leaders. Every year, the student-led team designs, builds, and programs a robot in six to eight weeks to compete in FIRST Robotics Competitions. Students gain hands-on skills in CAD, programming, machining and fabrication, building, engineering, science, business planning, and community engagement. They build problem-solving skills and resilience as part of a collaborative team. We conduct community outreach to promote STEM and recruit new members, reaching an average of 300 youth a year.

Career discovery is built in. Students collaborate with STEM professionals and mentors, take on roles that mirror careers in engineering, business, and communications, and learn from alumni and professionals about the many directions STEM can lead. We use the FIRST program to provide students with the necessary skills to become the next leaders in our community.

Our team is supported by volunteers and fundraising from donors and sponsorships. We are committed to fostering and cultivating a team culture that provides ALL young people with the opportunity to become science and technology leaders who have the skills, confidence, and resilience to give back to the community and build a better world.

We help Napa County children with disabilities and their families find the care and services that they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

For more than 20 years, ParentsCAN has supported thousands of local families of kids with disabilities, from tiny babies all the way to young adults. We are a place where parents feel welcomed and accepted, even during some of their most difficult moments. Our professionally trained staff are also parents and family members of children with disabilities, so ParentsCAN truly understands the unique challenges of raising a child with special needs.

We are strongly committed to making sure that we get rid of as many barriers to care as we can, so that more kids get the help they need:

• We fundraise to keep our services free so that all families who need them can access them.
• Classes, support groups, and consultations are available in English and Spanish.
• We offer classes online and in person at multiple locations, including school sites, to make them easy to get to.

In our last fiscal year, we served almost 900 families: 70% from low-income households, 62% Spanish-speaking, and 23% from the rural areas of the county.

The number of people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia is growing in Napa County, leaving many families feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and alone. Because of kind community members like you, they don’t have to face this journey alone. Your generosity ensures that care, guidance, and connection are always within reach through our Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center.

You make it possible for older adults with memory loss—and the people who care for them—to get the help they need. You help provide brain health programs, free family consultations, caregiver support groups, and practical education so families feel more prepared and less alone. Through Adult Day Health and respite care, participants have a safe, welcoming place to spend the day, receive personalized nursing care, stay active, and find joy, while caregivers can step away to rest, work, or recharge. In 2025, more than 5,800 people in our community benefited from these programs.

Community generosity powers this work. Gifts and volunteer time help fund daily care, expand access, and ensure no family is turned away. Because of you, families find comfort, caregivers gain confidence.

Now more than ever, families need a trusted place to turn. We build relationships that help Latine families feel seen, supported, and comfortable asking for help. Because we take the time to build trust, we’re able to connect people to the resources, opportunities, and support they need to move forward.

Each year, we serve more than 4,500 individuals and families through culturally grounded programs, including resource navigation, food access, mental health and wellness, financial education, legal navigation, and youth and family support. We also reach more than 5,000 community members through outreach, workshops, and community events, meeting people where they are and making sure they have access to trusted information. Last year, we connected more than 1,800 individuals to trusted community partners. Building relationships and connecting people to the right resources is what we do best. Families continue coming back, referring others, and growing alongside us because they know they belong here.

Community support makes this work possible. Every donation helps keep our doors open to families who need a trusted place to turn. Together, we’re building trust, strengthening our community, and making sure no one has to face life’s challenges alone.

RAD is the City of Napa’s only art district. It begins south/east of downtown and continues north for two miles along the Wine Train and Napa Valley Vine Trail (NVVT) routes. We are contributing to establishing the Napa region as an arts destination and aspire to create a distinctive and exceptional art destination for California. Last year, about 200,000 people rode their bikes, walked, or took the train through the district and experienced the 45 artworks that have been commissioned so far, including the Quake Mosaic, made with the broken remains of the Napa earthquake and wildfires, and a mural that highlights the Los Braceros program, California’s Mexican Farm Labor Program. Our annual art festival drew 500+ people last year. It takes place on Action Avenue at Vallejo Street in the heart of the Rail Arts District and features live performance, interactive art experiences for children and families, and food by local providers. We produce a holiday art market that gives local artists a place to sell their work and produce arts education projects for youth and adults.

Reliable local news is civic infrastructure. In Napa County, residents need trusted information about local government, schools, public safety, housing, business, culture, and community life—especially as misinformation spreads and local journalism faces severe economic pressure.

We serve readers across Napa County by reporting, editing, and publishing timely, independent local news and information. Our journalists attend public meetings, explain complex issues, cover community events, elevate diverse voices, and provide a forum for local opinion and debate. We connect residents to the decisions, people, and institutions shaping their daily lives.

Community support helps sustain the reporting Napa County cannot afford to lose. Donations help make essential local journalism more accessible, support deeper coverage of underserved communities, and ensure that residents have the information they need to participate, vote, volunteer, advocate, and belong. When local news is strong, the whole community is stronger.

For many older adults in the UpValley, Rianda House is a shelter in a storm. It’s a place where people step back from the roller coaster of current events and ground themselves in our shared humanity. It is truly exceptional! One has to experience it firsthand to fully grasp its uniqueness. Rianda House provides an environment of authentic inclusivity and support for our older adults. We provide community, belonging, and inspiration, all while providing an opportunity to bring fitness (physical and mental), continued education through arts, music, and language, and the exploration of a new passion into the lives of our older UpValley residents. We proudly serve adults age 55 and older. Everyone is welcome—no exceptions. Whether you’re interested in beginning an exercise routine, learning a new language, strengthening brain fitness, exploring a passion, discovering helpful resources, enjoying art and music, or simply finding community and connection, Rianda House is here for you.

Our foster-based, solution-focused rescue is dedicated to reducing pet homelessness through prevention, education, and community support. We believe that spay/neuter programs are the key to solving pet overpopulation and keeping animals out of shelters.

In the past year, we spayed and neutered more than 175 feral and community cats through our Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program and found homes for kittens from those colonies. We also helped low-income families and seniors access affordable spay/neuter services for 50 dogs and 100 cats, preventing unwanted litters and reducing shelter intake.

What sets us apart is the expertise of our co-founder, a Registered Veterinary Technician, who works directly with individuals, businesses, and local veterinarians to identify challenges and create practical solutions that keep pets with their families whenever possible.

Our rescue efforts focus on the animals most in need, particularly senior dogs and cats and those with medical conditions beyond the resources of our local shelter. Through foster care, medical support, and community partnerships, we provide vulnerable animals with a second chance while helping families access the resources they need to care for their pets.

By addressing the root causes of pet homelessness, we create lasting solutions that benefit animals, families, and our community.

For 30 years, we have provided safe, affordable sober living housing for people rebuilding their lives after addiction. In Napa Valley, the need for stable recovery housing continues to grow as individuals face homelessness, financial hardship, and limited access to long-term support after treatment or incarceration.

We operate seven sober living homes throughout Napa County, serving men and women in early recovery from substance use disorder. Residents receive affordable housing, peer accountability, recovery support, and connection to employment, education, healthcare, and community resources. Since 1996, we have helped more than 4,500 people rebuild their lives, and approximately 70% of residents leave our program sober and stable in their recovery.

Community support is essential because donations directly subsidize resident rent and program costs, making recovery housing accessible to people who are often starting over with very limited financial resources. Contributions help maintain safe homes, provide recovery support services, and remove financial barriers that can prevent long-term recovery. Beyond housing, our work restores dignity, reunites families, strengthens the local workforce, and brings hope to individuals seeking a second chance.

Thousands of older adults, people with disabilities, veterans, and caregivers in Napa County face barriers that threaten their health, safety, and independence. As the county’s only nonprofit providing durable medical equipment and medical supplies to anyone in need, we bridge critical gaps that allow our neighbors to remain safe at home.

Our services extend beyond medical equipment. We offer occupational therapist-led fall prevention programs, home safety assessments and accessibility modifications, caregiver education, transitional support after hospital stays, and compassionate assistance for individuals living with hoarding disorder—often helping clients create safe, habitable homes before facing eviction.

Since opening in 2021, we have distributed more than 103,000 pieces of medical equipment and supplies while serving an average of 724 clients each month. We have completed 124+ home safety assessments, supported 207+ clients through our Declutter Program, and extended services to veterans from 15 individuals in 2021 to 45 veterans each month, representing 16% of total clients served across all programs.

Community support helps us prevent injuries, preserve housing, reduce isolation, and empower our neighbors to live with dignity, independence, and confidence.

The Museum was established in 1978 to collect, preserve, study, and exhibit materials relating to the unique heritage of Calistoga and the upper Napa Valley, and provide related educational activities to enhance the knowledge and appreciation of residents and visitors. The local community and visitors to Calistoga, in the broadest sense, all ages and backgrounds, are welcome to attend our free public events. These include lectures, author discussions, special exhibits, tours, and film screenings. In keeping with Ben Sharpsteen’s vision that cost would not be a barrier to anyone, admission is free or with a voluntary donation. We offer history orientations for resort/winery staff.

Our educational impact is multi-faceted: dozens of local students from kindergarten through high school tour the Museum each year, and the Museum’s scholarship program supports higher education for Calistoga High School graduates. Outreach to the Latino community is ongoing through bilingual museum guides and special exhibits focusing on this rich heritage.

As an all-volunteer organization receiving no county, state, or federal grants, the Museum relies on donations, memberships, retail sales, and internal fundraising to cover operating costs. The City of Calistoga owns and maintains the facility; all operations are funded by the Museum Association.

Our organization is a dedicated nonprofit that fosters a love for the game of golf among young players in the Napa Valley. Through scholarships, mentorship, and inclusive programming, we empower juniors to build confidence, develop skills, and pursue opportunities both on and off the course. Our vision is to create a vibrant community where young golfers can thrive, supported by individuals like you who believe in making a difference for the next generation. Together, we are not just teaching golf; we are shaping futures.

Since 1963, we have brought people together through the joy and discipline of choral music. We provide accessible, welcoming opportunities for Napa Valley residents to sing, listen, connect, and experience the performing arts close to home. As an intergenerational chorus, we create a space where every voice is valued and supported.

We put our mission into action through concerts, showcases, recitals, and community events presented September through June. Guided by our experienced professional team, Artistic Director Ellen Patterson and Conductor Ronnie Zanella, our programs feature beloved choral traditions, diverse global expressions, and contemporary compositions in formal venues as well as intimate community spaces.

Our choir includes more than 40 singers, from teenagers to senior citizens, and reflects Napa Valley’s diversity. Through choral music, we build confidence, belonging, inclusion, and shared cultural experience. Our audiences are primarily local—88% are Napa Valley residents—from a broad range of communities.

Community support makes this work possible. Donations, volunteers, and partnerships will help us grow from 40 to 50 vocalists, provide training, add instrumentalists to our concerts, increase visibility, strengthen infrastructure, and ensure Napa Valley continues to benefit from accessible, high-quality choral music.

Although Napa Valley’s wine and hospitality industries generate significant revenue, many of the families who support those very industries struggle to put healthy meals on their tables at home. Many elderly on fixed income or others receiving low wages may have to choose between covering the rent, securing essential medications, or eating healthy meals. When families turn to the CANV Food Bank for help, we want them to find more than canned and boxed goods. We work to ensure they also have access to fresh, nutritious, and delicious fruits and vegetables by donating an average of 20,000 pounds of freshly harvested produce each year.

At the same time, we offer others an opportunity to give back to their community by investing a bit of their time, energy, gardening “know-how,” or financial support, joining us in this charitable work. A little given by many adds up to make a big difference in the lives of some of our neighbors.

SVdP addresses issues that threaten the well-being of families: food insecurity, pending evictions, pending utility shut-offs, and high gasoline prices. We help by providing food vouchers for local grocery stores, paying past-due rent and utility bills, and providing gasoline gift cards for local gas stations to anyone in need.

Any person may call our office requesting help with food, rent, utilities, and gasoline costs. Any person is eligible regardless of faith, age, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Assistance is provided once a genuine need is verified through home visits. In 2025, 213 families received food assistance through grocery store vouchers, 11 families received rent assistance to prevent a pending eviction, 8 families received utility assistance to prevent a pending utility shut-off, and 27 gas cards were distributed to the homeless to help with gasoline or convenience food.

Food insecurity, evictions, utility shut-offs, and high gasoline prices threaten the stability of families, the elderly, and the homeless. Supporting these groups matters because when these needs are met, family stability is nurtured, wage earners get to work, children get to school, and the homeless have basic needs met. Your support contributes to the overall health and welfare of the Napa community.

By providing free Psychiatric Service Dogs and ongoing support to individuals with mental health illnesses, we create a lasting, positive impact for both our recipients and our Napa Valley community. Our Psychiatric Service Dogs dramatically improve quality of life by mitigating the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Tailored to each person’s unique needs, they perform a wide range of specialized tasks—from managing panic attacks, stress, nightmares, and dissociation to ensuring safety in public spaces. Whether navigating a crowded room or relaxing at home, they provide constant medical and emotional support.

Uplifting one person ultimately strengthens their entire circle, including family, friends, and co-workers. When individuals have the tools to stay healthy, they are better equipped to care for themselves and their families. This fosters meaningful relationships that enrich our local neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces—collectively building a brighter Napa Valley.

Beyond matching dogs with handlers, we are dedicated to community outreach. We educate the public on the vital role of Psychiatric Service Dogs and the dangers of misrepresenting untrained pets as service animals. Through education, we aim to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health—a persistent challenge fueled by negative associations and misconceptions—and foster a more compassionate, informed community.

At Sunrise Horse Rescue, we receive more than 100 calls each year from people seeking help for horses in need. Whether a horse is facing neglect or abandonment, a family is struggling to keep a beloved companion, or an owner has nowhere else to turn, we respond with urgency and care. Even when our sanctuary is at capacity, our Horse in Need Program provides emergency support, including veterinary care, feed, transportation, and temporary shelter, keeping horses safe while we work toward a more permanent plan.

Our impact extends beyond rescue. As Sunrise Horse Rescue grows, we are expanding programs that strengthen the bond between horses and people, serving at-risk youth, families, and individuals living with memory loss alongside their loved ones. In every program, we meet both horses and people in moments of need with stability, compassion, and connection.

Your support makes this work possible. It allows us to respond when horses need help most, provide urgent care without delay, and grow programs that bring healing, dignity, and meaningful connection to both horses and people in our community.

TRCNB (Teacher Resource Center of the North Bay) ensures that every student has the basic tools they need to learn, regardless of their family’s income. Since 2010, we have provided free classroom supplies to public school teachers across the North Bay, removing a critical barrier to equitable education.

In Napa County, where over half of students are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged, teachers often spend an average of $673 annually out of pocket on essential materials. TRCNB bridges this gap by supplying items like pencils, notebooks, backpacks, and art supplies—so teachers can focus on teaching, not fundraising.

Each year, we serve approximately 400 teachers, reaching nearly 9,600 students. Our most recent distribution supported over 165 teachers from more than 40 schools, many from Title I campuses. By directly equipping classrooms, we amplify educational access and student success across the region.

TRCNB’s impact is made possible through the generosity of individuals, small businesses, and corporate partners who believe every child deserves a well-equipped learning environment. Together, we are investing in the future of Napa Valley—one classroom at a time.

What We Do:

Our goal is to provide comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education to the students of the Napa Valley.

The three core activities include:

1. Educating youth directly
2. Training teachers and professionals
3. Dreaming toward a world where there is reproductive justice for all.

Who We Serve:

We deliver week-long classroom programs in schools using the evidence-based “Be Real. Be Ready.” curriculum, covering healthy relationships, consent, contraception, and accessing health services. We currently serve six schools in the Napa Valley, with plans to expand to three more in the coming school year. We prioritize Title 1 schools where students face the greatest barriers to health information. Our Director of Education & Training brings 25+ years of experience, and as outside educators, students open up more freely with us about sensitive topics than they might with their regular teachers.

Why Support Matters:

Community support allows us to reach schools that cannot fund this programming themselves. Your donation helps ensure that every Napa student—regardless of zip code or family income—receives the health education California law entitles them to and the knowledge to make safe, informed decisions about their bodies and relationships.

Changing policies and an evolving social and economic landscape have created uncertainty and stress throughout our community. At UpValley Family Centers, we ensure no one faces these challenges alone. As the community’s trusted community resource hub, we connect children, families, older adults, and immigrants with the resources and support they need to feel safe and secure.

From housing assistance and school-based wellness programs to immigration consultations and personalized case management, we meet people where they are with free, bilingual, culturally responsive services that help them navigate complex systems and achieve their goals.

Last year, we provided more than 8,570 services that strengthened households across our community. Community support helps ensure every neighbor has access to trusted guidance, essential resources, and opportunities to build the future they want for themselves, their family, and our community.

VOICES Youth Programs helps young people move from crisis toward stability, connection, and leadership.

In Napa County, too many youth are expected to become independent while facing housing instability, trauma, foster care transitions, exploitation, poverty, migration stress, and systems that can be hard to trust. The need is urgent. Young people are trying to finish school, find work, stay housed, care for their mental health, and imagine a future while basic needs are still uncertain.

VOICES exists so they do not have to do that alone. Our youth-led center offers drop-in support, peer counseling, case management, food, clothing, laundry, housing navigation, Independent Living Program resources, financial literacy coaching, college and career support, wellness services, and youth leadership opportunities. We meet young people as whole people, not problems to fix.

What makes VOICES different is that lived experience is not treated as a barrier. It is treated as wisdom. Young people help shape programs, mentor peers, advocate for better systems, and practice leadership now, not someday.

Every meal, bus pass, housing application, wellness check-in, and youth council meeting is part of something bigger: young people building independence, belonging, and community power.

What We Do

We address a critical need in the Napa Valley, ensuring at-risk animals have a safe path out of overcrowded shelters, disaster zones, and for individuals with limited resources. Our mission is to save lives while strengthening the humane values that define Napa County.

Who We Serve

We put our mission into action by transporting dogs from high-risk environments to safety, providing medical care, and preparing them for adoption through trusted local partners. Each year, we move hundreds of animals out of danger and into loving homes. Our work also supports Napa Valley shelters by reducing overcrowding, expanding their capacity, and ensuring vulnerable animals receive timely care.

Why Support Matters

Community support allows us to respond immediately when animals are in crisis. Donations fuel transport, veterinary care, and disaster-response efforts; volunteers and partnerships amplify our reach. Beyond saving lives, our work delivers hope, connection, and compassion—strengthening Napa Valley’s animal-welfare network and inspiring a community where every animal is valued.

At We Care, we provide safe shelter, compassionate care, and loving adoption opportunities for pets in need. We are committed to keeping pets with the families who love them whenever possible by offering programs designed to reduce owner surrenders. Through services such as spay/neuter assistance, free wellness clinics, a pet food pantry, and other owner retention programs, we work to support both pets and the people who care for them, strengthening the human-animal bond and helping keep families together.

For over thirty years, we have rescued cats and dogs of all ages, from newborn kittens to senior dogs. With your help, 100% of donations buy neuter and spay services, medicines and vaccines, and food for the 1,000+ animals which come through our doors on a yearly basis.

The health of our animals is a top priority for us; therefore, we organize medical treatments, surgeries, and provide medicines for all of the animals in our care. We focus on illness prevention and have a thorough vaccine program protecting both rescued and feral animals against rabies, feline leukemia, parvo/panleukopenia, and upper respiratory diseases.

We are dedicated to halting the cycle of overpopulation in feral cats, and we ensure that all of the animals in our care are spayed and neutered. We are Napa’s number one trapper of feral cat colonies, spending countless volunteer hours (at all hours of the night!) trapping feral cats. We also take overflow animals from the Napa Animal Shelter, and we help to re-home animals who have lost their humans to illness or loss of a home.

Help us find forever homes for all of Napa’s animals!
