Our Cause

To break the poverty cycle through a higher access to education.

According to research by The Education Trust, over half of children born into poverty will reside in poverty their entire lives if denied access to higher education. The condemning nature of the poverty cycle creates a burden for society and marginalizes the individuals who are born into these conditions.

Compare this with 5 out of 6 children who are able to break the cycle and join the middle class if given access to higher education.

We can help them break the cycle, and change their lives forever.



Our System


How are we able to provide high quality wine at low prices and still give money to students?

Here are the three things you need to know:

1. We get our wine donated or discounted by local wineries that wish to help their communities and gain exposure to their brand.

2. Depending on the wine donated, we ship everyone in the club the same bottle each month. That means a wide variety of wines for those who are wishing to try new things and learn more about wine!

3. We are an absolute volunteer labor force, so 100% of our proceeds can go towards scholarships. This also serves to keep costs low. For more information, about how we operate refer to the "Are you paying our salaries?" section below.

We pass all the savings on, so you get great wine for the lowest prices all while helping low-income students! Join the Wine Club today!



Are you paying our salaries?

No. All of our employees are unpaid volunteers. Our corporate team all have full-time positions with outside companies and volunteer their skills as a way to give back to the community. We then leverage our scholarships students to help staff events and distribute our wine club shipments. This enables our students to build skills, appreciate the work that went into their scholarships, and create opportunities for our next generation of students.

If you would like to volunteer, please email volunteer@scholarwine.org to express your interest.
