Introducing A New Program That Helps Vineyard Stewards Thrive
Education Is The Spark. Funds Are The Foundation.
The new AHIVOY Family Support Program is designed to provide financial assistance and access to resources that help support families during times of urgent need—so that vineyard stewards can remain strong, stable, and continue to thrive both personally and professionally.

The Family Support Program
The AHIVOY Board voted to create the Family Support Program in 2026 to extend our resources beyond education to support graduates' needs in times of hardship. This fund spotlights a core belief of AHIVOY that it’s imperative to address systemic inequities by reducing barriers for historically marginalized people and their families.
“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.” “Cuando damos con alegría y recibimos con gratitud, todos somos bendecidos.”
— Maya Angelou
