Support Economic Security: Donate to the Fight Poverty Fund

At Napa Valley Community Foundation, we believe that our Valley is only as strong as its most vulnerable residents. Unfortunately, significant barriers—like the high cost of housing—stand in the way of local families’ ability to thrive.

Our Fight Poverty Fund supports the nonprofits that help residents overcome financial hardship and build a more secure future. From emergency assistance to longer-term solutions, your donation helps strengthen the local safety net for those who need it most.
