We believe in taking care of this special place with the same devotion and care we give to our wines. We’re committed to being good stewards of our environment and to helping build a stronger, better, healthier community.
Our history of fundraising for the good of the community began with the founding of Auction Napa Valley in 1981 and continues today with Collective Napa Valley. For more than forty years, the annual June event has combined the allure of Napa Valley wine, the region’s iconic scenery, vintner hospitality, and meaningful philanthropy. Through our efforts we have invested more than $230 million in local nonprofits.
While the majority of funding has been granted to local nonprofit organizations that are meeting a demonstrated need in the areas of community health and children’s education, the remaining has been invested in major initiatives and capital projects.

NVV continues to use the world-class reputation of Napa Valley wines to enhance the well-being of our community and also support new endeavors focused on the taking care of this very special place. Our current funding priorities for Collective Napa Valley include a focus on youth health and well-being and investments in forest health.
Help us play an essential role in building a stronger, healthier community. With your contribution, let’s keep the momentum going and make an even bigger difference together!
ContributeAt the heart of our Youth Wellness Initiative is the belief that every young person deserves the support they need to thrive. By meeting our kids where they are—at school, at home and in the community—we are helping them navigate a pivotal time of growth with confidence and strength. Our focus is on empowering youth to lead healthy, balanced lives by nurturing their social and emotional development while looking after their health and well-being.
Through our incredible nonprofit partners, children and teens are gaining essential life skills like confidence, resiliency, coping strategies and healthy habits that will help them to overcome challenges and embrace opportunities ahead. Our investments will create lasting, positive change for our youth and our community.
Through programs provided by our trusted partners—such as the SHINE collaborative, Boys and Girls Club, Napa Valley Education Foundation, Mentis, Girls on the Run, On the Move, Aldea and Up Valley Family Centers.

Wildfires remain one of Napa County's most pressing issues. Wildfires can cause devastation and disruption for all residents, local businesses, and schools no matter where the fire is located. NVV is the largest private donor supporting Napa County’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
NVV’s Forest Health initiative brings together multiple agencies and organizations, all cooperating on the implementation of NVV grant-funded projects. Grantee recipients are The Napa Communities Firewise Foundation (Napa Firewise) and Napa County Resource Conservation District (RCD). Together, they are collaborating with local and state government offices such as Napa County Fire Department, CAL FIRE, and other nonprofits like Napa County Land Trust and Napa County Regional Park and Open Space District to complete the work.
Long-term goals of the project:
