Extraordinary Experiences. Extraordinary Impact.

The 2026 Gifts for Good Auction Is Now Closed!

You helped us surpass our $100,000 goal—THANK YOU!

To everyone who donated an experience, placed a bid, supported Fund-a-Need, made a contribution, or spread the word: we are deeply grateful. Your generosity sustains food security, community health, animal care, and vocational training in the Uco Valley. This extraordinary result belongs to all of you!

Winning Items, Payments & Receipts

Sign in and select My Activity to view your winning items.

Winning bids will be charged automatically on Tuesday, October 27, to the credit card provided during registration. No checkout is required, though you may pay through My Activity beforehand if you prefer. Payments are processed securely in U.S. dollars, and a confirmation email and receipt will follow.

To arrange a DAF grant for a Fund-a-Need or direct contribution, please contact Carolyn before Tuesday. DAF grants cannot be used for auction purchases.

Arranging Your Experience

Within one week, our team will email an introduction connecting you with the donor or host of each item you won. You’ll coordinate dates and details directly with them, subject to the listing’s restrictions, availability, and expiration date. TVF facilitates introductions but does not manage fulfillment. Thank you for your patience as our small team makes these connections!

Tax Information

For auction purchases, only the amount paid above the stated fair market value may be deductible. Fund-a-Need and direct gifts, for which no goods or services are provided, may be fully deductible as allowed by law. DAF grants do not create an additional personal deduction. Please retain your receipt and consult your tax advisor.

From all of us at The Vines Foundation, thank you for turning extraordinary experiences into extraordinary impact!
