Since launching our One Napa Valley Initiative (ONVI) in 2012, Napa Valley Community Foundation and the donors who stand with us have made a steadfast commitment to helping local immigrants thrive. What began as a bold effort to expand access to citizenship has grown into a powerful, long-term collaboration that adapts to the evolving needs of our community.
In the past year, we more than doubled our financial commitment to immigration support, deepening our work with four trusted partner agencies: Immigration Institute of the Bay Area, Puertas Abiertas Community Resource Center, On the Move, and UpValley Family Centers.
Together, these organizations are ensuring that immigrants across the Valley have access to accurate information, quality legal services, and community resources.
So far, more than 2,600 of our neighbors have become U.S. citizens, and thousands more have received legal assistance with other immigration programs.
As the climate around immigration has grown more complex and punitive, our partnerships have expanded beyond aspirational outcomes like citizenship to include defensive legal services, education about constitutional rights, and outreach to employers and nonprofits to aid in their roles in protecting immigrant families.
Now operating under the umbrella of Napa Valley Together, this growing network is working to safeguard rights, reduce fear, and strengthen community bonds. With donor support, we remain committed to standing alongside immigrants in Napa Valley for the years ahead.
