SUPPORT THE FIRST LEAF INITIATIVE
COMMUNITY NEEDS. COMMUNITY SUPPORT. COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS.
At the heart of the Willamette Valley Wine Foundation is a deep-seated belief that together, we can overcome the systemic barriers that limit our community's potential. We are driven by a vision where everyone in our region has access to affordable housing, quality healthcare, enriching education, and opportunities for personal growth.
Today, we invite you to be part of this transformative journey. Your contribution will directly support the First Leaf Initiative, a targeted effort to raise $2 million to build sustainable and supportive communities. By donating, you're not just giving funds—you're actively participating in building a legacy of equity, inclusivity, and prosperity for our community.
Each contribution, large or small, helps us move closer to our $2 million goal and makes a significant impact on our community's future.
