Founded spring 2009. 15 original members. Weekly eblast now goes to over 1100.
Encouraging volunteerism for existing NPOs is job one. These are some of the CanDo projects that have also energized new volunteers, young and old. 10-10-10 = $40K and tons of food. S4S = 13k pairs of shoes for US and abroad. Waterways = 2x month clean-ups. Drug Take-back w/ Clinic Ole = over 10k lbs. of meds transported by CanDo vols to Household Hazardous Waste. Plastics = Spring 2013 Napa City Council voted unanimously to move towards ban! Local candidates evenings. CD CG collaboration to bring fresh, local produce to the Napa Food Pantry.
Founded spring 2009. 15 original members. Weekly eblast now goes to over 1100.
In Nov. 2011, CanDo member, Amy Garden, visited Portland, OR. There, she spotted a catalog featuring local nonprofits to whom readers were encouraged to donate via a website. She brought that catalog to our attention and we were smitten.
Compressed time frame creates feeling of urgency. Traditional paper catalog eases the way for those who are not yet high tech. User-friendly website includes running tally (auction-like excitement). To learn more, visitors may click to NPO websites, FB pages, YouTube videos.
Every household, St. Helena to AmCan, receives G!G following PR campaign. It comes via Napa Valley Marketplace, our printing partner. Additional copies for Calistoga, public places, schools.
Beginning in 2015, we will list individual NPOs’ incentives here as well. Donors simply click the date to see what special incentives are being offered.

One-stop shopping: Donations as small as $10. Donate button yields list of ALL NPOs. Donor may enter different amounts for several nonprofits. A final click will deduct their total in a single CC transaction.
If an NPO serves a substantial number of Napa County residents or causes, they may qualify to be in the Give!Guide. However, any donations received need to be applied to Napa County.
We’re looking for small, medium, and large NPOs that serve all seven categories: Animals, Arts and Culture, Community, Education, Environment, Health and Wellness, Seniors and Youth.
We’re looking for small, medium, and large NPOs that serve all seven categories: Animals, Arts and Culture, Community, Education, Environment, Health and Wellness, Seniors and Youth.
Simple application. Variety of NPOs. Applicants asked to self-identify for categories (animals, arts and culture, community, education, environment, health and wellness, youth and seniors). Intend to bring in new, well-qualified NPOs each year.
The G!G is about your NPO, of course, but it’s also about cultivating a community of givers across the Valley. Average number of NPOs per donor = ___________.
Outreach campaign is critical: Email, social media, fundraisers, volunteer events, word of mouth. The goal: Valley-wide Give!Guide buzz!
Incentives: Incentives will be offered by the G!G every day. Nonprofits submit one incentive valued at $100 to the pool. G!G Team generates the rest. Individual nonprofits may offer their own incentives as well (e.g. ice cream cones, massages, website design).
Business partners: Matching grants? Partners in PR campaign to extend your reach Nonprofit award: Recognizing those who have committed to service – boosts moral. Winner = more PR and feather in your cap.
Based on our post-G!G survey, NPOs had an average of nearly 67% new donors on the lists of donors they received with their checks.
In 2013 we didn’t know if we would bring in $10,000 in donations in our first year or $50,000. This isn’t about CanDo raising funds for local NPOs. It’s about that culture of giving we’re striving to create together to the benefit of all. This year? How about ___________? But the Napa Valley Give!Guide is about community coming together, and catalyzing that action is what CanDo does best.
And why are we doing it? Two reasons: First, because we so value all the work that each of you is doing to serve our communities every single day.
Second: NV CanDo believes that most people are remarkably generous. They derive great satisfaction from helping others, but are not always certain how to help. It's our mission to help ease the way from intent to action. With your help, the Give!Guide will do just that.
