Bacchus Capital Management specializes in mezzanine and private equity investments in premium wineries on the West Coast of the US. They invest in businesses with a track record of profitability and annual shipment volumes of up to 750,000 nine liter cases. They look for privately/closely held and/or family operated wineries that are seeking capital for increasing sales and/or for infrastructure growth. The firm seeks wineries with moderate to low return on investment for the industry which offer the opportunity for improved performance and increased value. Should value opportunities arise in businesses outside of this range, Bacchus may make debt and equity investments on an opportunistic basis.

The Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies Inc The Foundations associated with The Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies (ACBP) for over twenty-five years have focused their philanthropic vision on making a difference in Canada, Israel, the United States and around the Jewish world. ACBP seeks to nourish the deep and fundamental human desire to belong to a community and to help individuals forge connections between their identity and community. Therefore, the principles and goals of the founders have been pursued via a myriad of programs and projects that are investing in next generations in an effort to change the world. The major operating programs of ACBP are researched, developed, and incubated until such time as their theoretical frameworks are proven and their impact is both measured and understood. At that time, these incubated programs tend to be placed on a path toward increasing independence. Given the strategic focus of ACBP philanthropy and the in-depth approach it takes to operating programs and joint ventures, applications for support are limited to those by invitation only. From our inception in 1986, ACBP was envisaged as a spend-out philanthropy, dedicated to strategically leveraging its entire endowment by the year 2016. This decision was a reflection of Andrea z"l and Charles Bronfman's belief that they could do the most good by empowering the next generation to pick up the gauntlet of innovation and create programs on their own terms. ACBP operates and supports programs in Canada, Israel and the United States to strengthen the unity of the Jewish people, to improve the quality of life in Israel and to promote Canadian heritage. Ultimately, ACBP seeks to span the separations created by geography, culture, and the requirements of daily life with a bridge built on the willingness of individuals in search of community, identity, and meaning. We operate in a framework of continuing innovation, have an ability to bear risk, and continually emphasize quality, value creation and building sustainability.
