Dear Friends,
By now, all students across the Valley have returned to school for a new academic year.
At Napa Valley Community Foundation, we believe that all young people have the potential to become confident and contributing adults. However, while gifts and talents are evenly distributed, access and opportunities are not.
For this reason, investing in local programs that level the educational playing field and empower students to excel is a core part of Napa Valley Community Foundation’s mission.
Recently, in partnership with dozens of local donors, we distributed more than $250,000 to help close the achievement gap for Napa County youth, from American Canyon to Calistoga. You can read more about those investments in the
Napa Valley Register article
.
Thank you to those that stand behind us to support our students to succeed.
Sincerely,
Terence P. Mulligan
President
Napa Valley Community Foundation
