In 2020, the NVV canceled its long-running Auction Napa Valley fundraiser due to the pandemic and pledged to rethink how to raise funds in new ways for the good of its community.  In early 2022, NVV will launch a new year-round philanthropy program called Collective Napa Valley. The NVV committed to giving $15 million over three years while it ramps up the new program.

Community members are invited to join the Collective when it launches next year.  Varying levels of membership, from free on upwards, will provide opportunities to stay informed on how fundraising makes a difference in Napa Valley and to interact with winemakers through tastings and events.

“We’re excited to introduce Collective Napa Valley to the community and to wine enthusiasts around the world. We hope to have as many community members involved as possible, and we look forward to reconnecting with our long-time volunteer network who play a key role in making our fundraising endeavors such a success,” said John Hamilton, Collective Napa Valley community board member.
