Affiliated business are our newly invited partners.
For the first time in our nearly 20-year history, starting in 2024, the National Grape Research Alliance (NGRA) is inviting grape and wine industry service providers, or affiliates, to bring their unique insights and service-oriented point of view to our esteemed organization. But not just any affiliated businesses–only a select few. NGRA members are thoughtfully extending membership invitations to companies with trusted service or equipment offerings, strong orientation to research and extension, high integrity and reputation for excellence. To ensure value, no more than 10 affiliates will be added in 2025.
Thank you to our 2024 class of inaugural affiliate members for accepting our invitation. They include:
- Agri-Analysis
- AgWest
- G3 Enterprises
- OXBO
- Vineview
Affiliate membership begins at $3,000 annually. Like our industry membership, affiliate membership is offered on our long-standing altruistic model whereby members determine their own contribution based on their passion for science, budget for philanthropy and/or relative giving of like-minded peers. Higher levels of giving will be gratefully accepted and noted on our website and in other promotions.
