July 28, 2026 (Calistoga, CA) — Frank Family Vineyards is excited to announce that the winery’s annual Frank for a Cause charitable giving campaign will benefit Dress for Success Worldwide, a global nonprofit and leading resource for advancing women in the workplace. From July 2026 through June 2027, every Frank Family wine purchase will support Dress for Success in its purpose to empower women to achieve economic mobility by providing career development resources, professional attire, coaching and a global network of support.
For nearly three decades, Dress for Success has helped women build confidence and create brighter futures by equipping them with the resources needed to enter and thrive in the workforce. Since its founding, the organization has supported more than 1.3 million women through nearly 130 affiliates across 15 countries, helping participants secure employment, advance their careers and achieve long-term financial stability.
This partnership is especially meaningful to winery founders, Rich and Leslie Frank. In the early 2000s, Leslie proudly served on the local Board of Directors for the Seattle chapter of Dress for Success, where she witnessed firsthand the organization’s impact in helping women build confidence, access resources and pursue new opportunities. That experience inspired a lasting commitment to supporting Dress for Success and the incredible work they do in communities around the world.
“Family has always been at the heart of Frank Family Vineyards, and I’ve always believed that when you invest in women, you invest in families and communities,” says Leslie Frank. “My time serving on the board of Dress for Success Seattle reinforced that belief, and I’m proud that together we’re helping create more opportunities for women to thrive.”
This yearlong initiative will kick off with a series of fundraising and community activations across the country designed to inspire Frank Family’s nationwide community to make a meaningful impact together. The collaboration will continue with exclusive experiences, specialty wine and other exciting opportunities to support Dress for Success Worldwide, each celebrating the shared values of confidence, community and empowerment. Additional details and event announcements will be released throughout the year and posted to frankfamilyvineyards.com/philanthropy as they become available.
“Frank Family Vineyards understands that confidence can open doors, and we’re proud to partner with a brand that shares our belief in investing in women, families, and communities. Together, we’ll help bring greater awareness to Dress for Success and connect more women with the career pathways, professional development, and support that enable more than 90,000 women annually to thrive in work and in life,” says Joanie Bily, CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide.
Since its founding in 1993, Frank Family Vineyards has remained steadfast in its commitment to giving back. The winery’s partnership with Dress for Success is the latest installment in its ongoing “Frank for a Cause” charitable giving campaign. Established in 2018, “Frank for a Cause” campaigns have supported local and national organizations including K9s For Warriors, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Feeding America, Autism Speaks, the James Beard Foundation’s Open for Good Campaign, the Humane Society of the United States and Arbor Day Foundation. Supporting organizations that create meaningful, lasting change has long been central to Frank Family’s ethos, with the winery continually investing in initiatives that strengthen communities and expand opportunity.
