Our Board & Staff

Our Staff

You don’t have to donate to the Community Foundation to call our staff for assistance. An important part of our mission is to grow philanthropy in Napa County, so we’re always pleased to offer our perspective on giving—even if your plans don’t involve the Community Foundation.

• We can help you develop a strategy for your giving that inspires you and makes a difference.
• We can connect you to a community of other givers.
• We can identify for you the exemplary programs that are working on the causes you care about most.
• We can inform you about local issues that the charitable sector is tackling.
• We can help you structure a gift that matches both your charitable and your financial goals.
