Funds Raised
Wines for Humanity raises funds for charities across the country in order to prevent homelessness in families with children. We believe that funds raised locally should be applied locally- directly impacting the quality of our Wine Advisors' neighborhoods nationwide.
For every bottle promoted at a Wines for Humanity tasting event, an average of $2.00 goes straight to the local charity that we work with. The host discount (a discount on wine proportionate to the amount of wine promoted at an event) can also be directly donated to charity, as a tax-deductible charitable contribution. Once the host donation is factored in, Wines for Humanity typically donates $2.00 per bottle promoted!
As of June 1st, 2010, we have helped raise over $122,000 for the prevention of homelessness in families with children as well as over $338,000 for other charities for a total of over $460,000!!! Thank you for your generosity!
Wines for Humanity offers auctionable fundraising certificates! Good for a 6 bottle tasting for up to 14 people, our certificates are a great way to raise funds at any charitable auction.
