Stronger Together!

Napa’s students deserve best-in-class education, that’s why NapaLearns is joining forces with the Napa Valley Education Foundation. Together we will fill critical funding gaps and invest in innovative education programs that ensure a brighter future for the next generation.

NapaLearns + NVEF = More opportunities
for Napa County students!

We are the foundation for our kids' futures.

Napa Valley Education Foundation supports the dreams of more than 20,000 students, and we can’t do this without you. Of the 25 schools in Napa County, 50% of students are from low-income households, and 60% are from minority backgrounds. These kids are our future.

Dollars in Action

It’s simple. Tomorrow’s adults are our underserved kids today.

What We Fund

The programs we fund are the first to be cut. And they’re vital.

Make Your Donation

Join with your neigbors to change our schools today.

Every day, NVEF supports the district’s work by providing critical extra programs students need to perform their best: music and arts, health and wellness, career preparation, and teacher innovation grants. To do this, we need to raise $1.8 million annually. And we can’t get there without you!
