You don’t have to donate to call us! We’re here to grow philanthropy in Napa County, so we’re always pleased to hear from you — even if your plans don’t involve NVCF. Let us help you:
- connect to a community of givers
- discover great programs that are working on causes you care about
- learn about issues that the charitable sector is tackling
