Foxen Giving
For Foxen, supporting our local and global communities is at the core of our values. Here are some of the ways in which Foxen chooses to give back:
Pins for Pride
Twice a year - in January and July - we donate $2 for every rainbow anchor pin sold to Santa Ynez Valley Pride. SYV Pride's mission is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering home for the LGBTQIA+ community in the Santa Ynez Valley through the education and celebration of LGBTQIA+ culture.

Hats Combating Climate Change

EDF's goals are to stabilize the climate, strengthen people and nature's ability to thrive, and support people's health. Guided by science and economics, and committed to climate justice, they work in the places, on the projects, and with the people that can make the biggest difference.

Making a Difference with Rosé

The SBC Foodbank serves the community as a leader and expert in improving the nutritional health of Santa Barbara County through increased food security. To learn more about this organization or to donate, please visit their website: Foodbank of Santa Barbara County.
Wines that Fight Cancer
During the months of November and December, we donate $1 for every bottle sold of two wines extra close to our hearts - our Mamére Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, named after Dick's mother, and our Cuvée Jeanne Marie, named after Billy's mother - to the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara in support of the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center.
Cancer effects every family, regardless of skin color, affluence, or nationality. Our Foxen family has been impacted by cancer, as we expect many of yours have been. Help us to fight cancer by buying two of our favorite wines during the holiday season!
California Community Foundation - Cal Poly Scholarship for BIPOC in Wine & Viticulture
Every February, in celebration of Black History Month, we donate 1% of our direct-to-consumer, non-club shipment sales to the Cal Poly Scholarship for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in Wine and Viticulture, funded through the California Community Foundation.
