What if we built compassion centers instead of data centers?

Filled with people rather than servers, they would generate energy instead of consuming it, thrumming 24/7 with hope, generosity, and kindness.

If this sounds like wishful thinking, it’s not: a gift to Napa Valley Community Foundation enables us to operate as a nimble and responsive compassion center, directing resources to meet the most important challenges our Valley faces.

Last year, with your support, we distributed nearly $7.4 million to bolster critical safety net services for children, seniors, and working families; award scholarships to promising local students; and provide services that help our immigrant neighbors understand their legal rights and obligations—while reducing misinformation and fear. 

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished so far. But the challenges confronting our Valley are growing, and we can’t meet them alone.

That’s why we’re inviting you to make a contribution toward the Foundation’s work at what feels like a crossroads for our country and our community. With your help, we can continue to respond quickly and strategically as needs arise, fill critical gaps, and strengthen the programs that keep our neighbors safe, housed and hopeful.

Local giving always matters. Right now, it matters even more. And this year, your generosity can go twice as far. Our Board Members have contributed $100,000 to match gifts dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact of your support. 

We hope you’ll join us this year by making a tax-deductible contribution to Napa Valley Community Foundation before December 31. Together, we can ensure that compassion isn’t just an aspiration, but something we put to work every day to make life better for everyone in the Valley.

Thank you for your generosity, your partnership, and your belief in what’s possible when people take care of each other.
