Invest in the Community Endowment, a permanent resource for Napa County nonprofit projects. This Fund is comprised of gifts from donors like you, and is administered by the Community Foundation. As the Fund grows, more income is earned. That income is available for grants to tackle the big challenges our community faces—whether now or many years from now.

Start your own permanent fund, called a Legacy Fund. Most often established as part of a donor’s estate plan, a Legacy Fund supplies permanent support to a specific nonprofit, or to a broad field of interest, such as youth or the environment. These Funds are a smart way to ensure the continued success of organizations or causes close to your heart. Our role is to protect your charitable wishes over time by making annual distributions that are consistent with your original intentions.

Talk to us about charitable estate planning. You don’t have to donate to the Community Foundation to receive assistance from our staff. An important part of our mission is to grow philanthropy in Napa County, so we’re always pleased to offer our perspective on planned or major gifts—even if these gifts don’t involve the Community Foundation.
