One Mission. Multiple Paths.

One student at a time

Our Work

We believe Napa County schools provides an excellent education for students in our community.  Every day, we support their work by providing critical extra programs students need to perform their best.  We want all our students to graduate from high school ready for college or a successful career.

Napa Valley Education Foundation mobilizes community resources and provides leadership to inspire children to achieve their educational potential by enhancing the priorities of Napa County School Districts. We do this by providing programs, raising funds, and uniting the community in support of educational excellence.

Each year, we raise nearly $3 million to ensure every student has the inspiration, engagement, and connection they need to succeed. We believe an investment in education is an investment in our future!
