Summer 2023

You did it!

Your generosity last year is the fuel that is powering the Napa Valley Grapegrowers (NVG) and the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation (FWF) in 2023. In the first six months of this year, your support funded a combined:

• 230+ hours of education
• 30 programs
• 961 participants

 
And it launched new education, training, advocacy efforts, and more, highlights include:

• NVG advocated for community wildfire resources and succeeded in getting the Napa County Board of Supervisors to add a new fire liaison, an increase in early fire-detection capabilities, and additional funds for FireWise
• NVG participated on the Napa County Groundwater Sustainability Plan Advisory Committee, providing leadership during the creation of Napa County's new 20-year Groundwater Sustainability Plan
• FWF offered a new Introduction to Welding course, boosting the skill set and supporting career advancement for 20 farmworkers
• FWF launched a Women’s Leadership Workshop for 45 women managers and supervisors, aspiring to build their careers, enhance their leadership and public speaking skills, and connect with other women supervisors leading the way
• NVG and FWF partnered to expanded the Patrick Foley Fields of Opportunity to connect 40 high school students with 23 NVG members, providing hands-on job training and access to career paths

Now, Harvest STOMP is mere days away and not only is it the best party of the year it’s the most important party of the year. Thank you for raising the critical funds used to provide education and advocacy that support the preservation of agriculture, protection of our natural resources, initiation of environmentally impactful farming practices, and the cultivation of the next generation of leaders.
 
Cheers!
