2024 CanDo Give!Guide is Here!

November 15, 2024

________________________________

It’s here! The 2024 Napa Valley CanDo Give!Guide is your one-stop to support your Napa community non-profit organizations! Join CanDo and fellow donors to make 2024 a record setting year for participating non-profits.

The Friends of the Napa Library once again is honored to participate in this powerful community of non-profit fundraising.  Click here to donate today!  Let’s build a brighter future for Napa, one book and reader at a time.

How and Why to Donate

Imagine a world where a child struggles to read, where seniors feel isolated due to technology challenges, and where families can’t afford learning opportunities.  The Friends of the Napa Library (FOL) is dedicated to change this in Napa County.  This holiday season, through the Give!Guide (November 15th to December 31st), our aim is to exceed our goal of reaching 120 donors and raising $10,000 to sustain essential library programs that foster literacy, learning, and community connection.

Your donation to the Friends of the Napa Library – CanDo’s Napa Valley Give!Guide) directly supports Napa County Library programs, including:

  • Summer Reading Programs: Offering books, events, and learning activities to keep kids engaged and ready to learn when school resumes.
  • The Memory Lab: Helping families digitize photos and videos, preserving cherished memories, and bridging the technology gap.
  • Free Books for Kids and Families: Each year, we provide thousands of free books to children, bringing the joy of reading to those who can’t otherwise afford it.
  • Community Outreach: We donate books to hospitals, senior housing, family centers, schools, and more, making literacy accessible to everyone.

Supporting FOL through the Give!Guide: fuels these programs and allows the library to continue as a place where all community members can find inspiration, learning, and belonging – every dollar and donor counts. Your contribution is an investment in the future of Napa – a future where everyone has access to knowledge, culture, and opportunity.

A Thank You to Our Donors

In appreciation, all who donate to FOL through the Give!Guide will participate in a random drawing for a premium wine basket from the Donald Patz Wine Group. Additionally, if you donate through the Give!Guide, and if you’re not already a member of FOL, you’ll receive a free one-year FOL membership, which includes early access to book sales and discounts at the Napa Bookmine.

Libraries are unique spaces where people of all ages and backgrounds gather to explore, learn, and grow. Your donation supports this vision and helps keep our library vibrant. Together, let’s empower literacy and enrich minds in Napa County.
