California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund
CCF partners closely with community based organizations and government partners to ensure that all funding is responsibly allocated to the most critical community priorities. They also leverage data from CalFire and the Center for Disease Control’s Social Vulnerability Index to direct grants to underserved and hard-to-reach communities, which can be overlooked in times of disaster. The Wildfire Recovery Fund supports an array of critical recovery services, including housing, case management, mental health, and medical care for displaced residents. It also aids in rebuilding essential infrastructure like emergency communication systems and offers financial disaster assistance, labor law education, and immigration services to low-wage workers and immigrant families. Additionally, the fund provides updated safety equipment to firefighters and health and safety education for caregivers, domestic workers, and day laborers.
