Paying It Forward
Paying It Forward
My family holds a strong belief in the freedom to create one’s own path by following your dreams & passions with a tremendous amount of hard work, perseverance & grit; while remembering to always pay it forward. At Naidu Wines, we have taken a pledge to help the community around us by making it one of the pillars of our foundation. Taking the 1 % pledge means for every wine that we will release; 1% each of our Product, Time & Profit will be donated towards a good cause.
1 % Pledge, 2022
For 2022 our pledge has been made to The Children’s Health Guild. CHG is a non-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to raising funds for UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland (UBCHO) and George Mark Children's House (GMCH) in San Leandro.
Originally founded as St. Luke’s Junior Auxiliary based in San Francisco, the organization has raised funds for over 40 years to support low-income women and children’s medical care.
CHG's efforts help these beneficiaries provide the full circle of medical care including emergency care, on-going treatment, transitional and respite care, and palliative care that helps children and their families live life to its fullest during a child’s final days.
1% Pledge, 2021
For our 2019 Cuvee Rouge & 2020 Viognier we have pledged our donation to The Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS) The Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS) defends the human rights of courageous refugees seeking asylum in the United States. With strategic focus and unparalleled legal expertise, CGRS champions the most challenging cases, fights for due process, and promotes policies that deliver safety and justice for refugees.

For our 2019 Rosé release, we will be focusing our donations on The Emergency Food Network launched by sonomafamilymeal.org in response to the outbreak of the Coronavirus in March 2020 with the goal of fighting food insecurity in our community during disasters.
2018 Estate Grown Pinot Noir
For our 2018 Estate Grown Pinot Noir, we supported The World Central Kitchen, Santa Rosa.
