FROM THE WIRES...

This Year’s Awards Support Local Nonprofits Advancing Domestic Violence Relief, Education, Food Security, Arts, and Environmental Stewardship

NAPA, Calif. – June 2, 2026 | Lewis Cellars announced it has awarded $275,000 to nonprofit

organizations across Napa County through its 2026 Community Grants program.

Now in its third year, the annual community grants underscore the winery’s ongoing

commitment to supporting the communities where its employees and their families live

and work. With this latest round of funding, Lewis Cellars has directed more than $750,000

to Napa County nonprofits over the past three years.

Focused on creating long-term, meaningful impact, this year’s grant recipients are

advancing critical work across the region – from expanding access to domestic violence

support and preventative parenting education to fostering economic advancement for

vineyard workers, supporting agricultural youth, and increasing access to arts

programming. Collectively, these efforts reflect the power of community-driven solutions

and cross-sector partnership.

“The strength of Napa County comes from local organizations that are deeply rooted in our

communities and know best what they need most,” said Dennis Bell, vice president of

Lewis Cellars. “We’re proud that this year’s round of grants will support critically important

pathways for education, opportunities for economic mobility, and environmental

stewardship. Through our Community Grants program, we are committed to showing up as

a long-term partner by supporting initiatives that are locally led, thoughtfully designed with

community at the forefront, and creating lasting impact.”

Launched in 2024, the Lewis Cellars Community Grants program supports organizations

working across key focus areas including education, youth development, environmental

stewardship, food access, arts and culture, health and wellness, and social services. The

2026 cycle drew a record number of applications, with proposals carefully reviewed by a

dedicated team of Lewis employees to ensure a thoughtful, inclusive, and community-

informed selection process.

Among the 2026 recipients are:

• Napa Valley Education Foundation – Enhances student access to performing arts

through critical infrastructure improvements and expanded arts programming.

• Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation – Empowers farmworker communities

through leadership development, education, and ongoing mentorship

opportunities.

• Ag4Youth – Expands access to hands-on agricultural education and after-school

enrichment for local youth.

• Feeding It Forward – Expands food recovery and distribution to increase access to

nutritious meals for food-insecure individuals across Napa County.

“At the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation, we are committed to creating opportunities

for farmworkers to grow as leaders within their communities and workplaces,” said Sonya

DeLuca, executive director, Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation. “Funding from Lewis

Cellars enables us to expand our Women’s Leadership Workshops, equipping participants

with essential literacy, leadership, and management skills while fostering confidence and

connection.”
