Services improve the lives of nearly 70,000 clients throughout Napa County
11/14/2018 – St. Helena, CA—The Napa Valley Vintners (NVV) today announced an additional $4.1 million in funding to 15 Napa County nonprofit partners. These local nonprofits provide services via these funds to nearly 70,000 Napa County clients under the community health umbrella.
The $4.1 million allocated to a core group of nonprofit partners is in addition to the final $2 million of a $6 million grant to OLE Health for its new medical facility in south Napa. Expected to open in 2019, the OLE Health Napa Valley Vintners South Napa Campus will serve more than 15,000 patients annually.
This funding is made possible through proceeds from the NVV’s annual fundraiser, Auction Napa Valley. To date, the NVV has invested more than $185 million in the Napa Valley community via Auction Napa Valley proceeds.
From American Canyon to Calistoga, and from before birth to compassionate end-of-life care, NVV funding supports services in the areas of primary healthcare, critical pediatric dental needs, mental health, family strengthening and other facets of creating a healthy, vital community.

“The NVV is grateful for the opportunity to support the dedicated, resourceful and impactful nonprofits working to improve community health in Napa County,” noted Carol Kingery Ritter, an Auction Napa Valley Community Board Member and Chair of the NVV’s Grants Review Committee. “This opportunity wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our members, bidders and the dedication of every member of this community in making Napa Valley a unique place that cultivates the spirit of giving.”
Affordable healthcare and access to quality mental health services, especially affecting youth in Napa County community, are community concerns that are directly affected by funding in this announcement. A few examples include:
- One in five Napa County residents use OLE Health as their primary care provider. OLE Health is the largest recipient of NVV funding and Napa County’s only nonprofit health clinic.
- Every child in Napa County has access to health insurance through the Community Health Initiative, of which NVV is the largest local private funder.
- Non-profit partners including Aldea, Inc., Cope Family Center, Mentis and NEWS provide a wide net of mental health services for children and their families throughout Napa County.
