At Grand Pacific Resorts, we believe that vacations enrich lives—and that giving back does too. Through our GPR Cares initiative, we’ve made it a priority to build strong, meaningful partnerships with nonprofits in the communities we call home. That mission recently led us to an inspiring new connection in Napa Valley: Connolly Ranch.

Educational Garden at Connolly Ranch

Nestled in the heart of wine country, Connolly Ranch is a nonprofit nature education center that offers hands-on learning through animal care, gardening, sustainable farming, nutrition, and outdoor play. Their programs nurture curiosity, resilience, and a lifelong respect for the natural world among children and families in the Napa Valley region.

This meaningful collaboration officially took root at a spring fundraising event held on the ranch’s picturesque grounds. Grand Pacific Resorts was honored to support the evening with a table sponsorship, an in-kind vacation stay donation, and other contributions that helped raise an additional $2,800 in support of Connolly Ranch’s mission. The event brought together local supporters and business leaders to celebrate the importance of nature-based education and community wellness.

“The evening at Connolly Ranch was truly inspiring,” said James Leveridge, General Manager at RiverPointe Napa Valley Resort, a Grand Pacific Resorts property. “Seeing firsthand the impact they’re making in the lives of children and families reminded me why partnerships like this matter. It’s a fantastic opportunity to give back and build even stronger connections in our community”

This partnership is just the beginning. As we expand our charitable outreach in Northern California, we remain equally committed to our longstanding relationships with nonprofits in Southern California, Lake Tahoe, and Hawaiian. Every connection deepens our purpose and reinforces what GPR Cares is all about—uniting people through service, heart, and hospitality.

With every new partnership, Grand Pacific Resorts strengthens its mission to care for the places and people that make vacation ownership so meaningful. Because when we give back together, everyone benefits.
