OUR IMPACT
SEE HOW YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY
At the Willamette Valley Wine Foundation, we channel the generosity of our donors into impactful projects across affordable housing, healthcare, education, and personal development. Here’s how we’re transforming lives together:
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES
Addressing the critical need for affordable housing, we have supported initiatives like the Stratus Village Project, which will provide 175 units of affordable housing in McMinnville. Funded partly through $6.2 million in Agricultural Workforce Housing Tax Credits, these homes offer a stable foundation for families, including 16 units specifically for agricultural workers.
HEALTHCARE
EXPANDING ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE
In collaboration with local institutions like Chemeketa Community College, we are training the next generation of community health workers to provide culturally competent care. Our goal is to launch a new cohort by Fall 2024, enhancing healthcare accessibility for vineyard stewards and their families.
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION & CARE
SHAPING FUTURES THROUGH EARLY EDUCATION
Through our Primeros Pasos partnership, we are establishing up to four Family Childcare Homes within affordable housing communities. This initiative supports the training and incentivization of early childhood educators, directly impacting young learners and their families.
PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL DEVLOPMENT
EMPOWERING PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
We invest in programs that prepare individuals for viable careers and personal growth. Initiatives like our partnerships with Clackamas Community College facilitate pathways for early childhood education, while savings programs match funds for community members aiming to achieve significant personal goals.
