CONTRIBUTING TO OUR COMMUNITIES

In 2020, we established The Duckhorn Portfolio Founders Fund (“DPFF”) with the aim to support educational programs for historically disadvantaged groups in the communities where our employees live and work. Over the past four years, the DPFF has provided grant awards to eleven organizations totaling approximately $600,000 in funding.

The DPFF Committee awarded grants totaling $150,000 in July 2024 to support five local organizations:

Sonoma State University

Sonoma State University (Wine Industry Scholars Program)

Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation

School on Wheels

DPFF Grant Award Process and Oversight

The DPFF Committee (the “Committee”) is comprised of a diverse cross-section of employees from each of the Company's departments in order to achieve a balanced approach to grant funding selection. The search for potential DPFF grantee organizations begins with a company-wide call for nominations of organizations that meet this criteria.

After receiving nominations the Committee assesses each organization's eligibility by way of a detailed review of supplemental materials and virtual meetings with executives from the top organizations selected by the DPFF. The Committee aims to evaluate the ways in which the Company can meaningfully contribute to each organization and assesses the funding needs of each organization in accordance with alignment to the DPFF charter.

In order to be considered for funding

An organization must be focused on education

Serve the Napa, Sonoma or Central Coast regions

Duckhorn is committed to supporting individuals in our communities who are members of historically disadvantaged groups. The DPFF, aims to support educational opportunities in the communities in which Duckhorn Portfolio employees and their families work and live.
