About the Funder
Bledsoe Wine Estates is a family of wineries founded by former NFL quarterback Drew Bledsoe and his wife, Maura, with roots in Washington’s Walla Walla Valley.
Its portfolio includes Bledsoe Family Winery, Doubleback, and Bledsoe|McDaniels. The company emphasizes its connection to the communities and landscapes where it operates, along with sustainability and responsible stewardship.
Through its donation request program, Bledsoe Wine Estates considers opportunities to support charitable organizations and community causes.
What This Program Supports
Bledsoe Wine Estates does not publish formal charitable giving categories or a predetermined list of eligible causes.
Instead, organizations can submit individual requests explaining:
- The organization or group requesting support
- The charitable event
- The date of the event
- The organization’s nonprofit Tax ID number
- The specific donation being requested
- Additional information about the organization, event, or intended use of the donation
Because applicants are asked to identify a specific desired donation, organizations should make a clear and realistic request and explain how the contribution will support their fundraising or charitable goals.
Eligible Organizations
The donation request form is designed for charitable organizations and groups and requires applicants to provide a Tax ID number.
Applicants should be prepared to provide:
- Organization or group name
- Contact information
- Event name
- Event date
- Tax ID number
- Organization website
- Desired donation
- Additional comments about the request
Bledsoe Wine Estates does not publish additional nonprofit eligibility requirements on its request page.
Geographic Focus
Bledsoe Wine Estates does not publish a formal geographic restriction for donation requests.
The company is rooted in Walla Walla, Washington, and organizations with a relationship to Bledsoe Wine Estates, its communities, customers, or members may have a particularly compelling connection.
However, applicants should not assume requests are limited to Washington unless otherwise communicated by the company.
Preference for Members
Bledsoe Wine Estates notes that it does its best to prioritize donation requests associated with its allocation lists and club members.
The request form specifically asks whether the applicant is currently associated with:
- Doubleback Allocation
- Bledsoe|McDaniels Allocation
- Bledsoe Family Winery Inner•Circle
- None of the above
Organizations with an existing connection to a Bledsoe Wine Estates member should make that relationship clear when submitting their request.
Donation Amounts
Bledsoe Wine Estates does not publish standard donation amounts or values.
Applicants are invited to identify their desired donation as part of the online request form.
Organizations should make a specific request appropriate to their event and fundraising needs rather than submitting a general request for support.

📅 Application Timeline: Rolling / ongoing
📅 Review Schedule: Requests are reviewed monthly
📅 Response Timeline: Approximately 20 days
