Story

California is facing another severe wildfire crisis, with more than a dozen active fires burning thousands of acres and threatening entire towns. Two people were killed and one injured in the fast-moving Fairview Fire. All donations to this fund will support wildfire relief and recovery efforts in California. Your donation will go to vetted nonprofits providing food, water, and shelter. This fund will remain open through fire season and beyond to support the most impacted communities.

Impact

We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are in the best position to provide long-term support for survivors of natural disasters like wildfires. By funding the relief and recovery efforts of local organizations, donations to this fund have the potential to build stronger response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future challenges. GlobalGiving will post reports about how funds have been used and will email these reports to donors.

Challenge

Californians now battle wildfires on an ongoing basis, with communities facing loss of life and mass destruction of property. People from low-income, rural, and marginalized communities have less access to support, which means they also tend to bear the brunt of the long-term impact. Local nonprofits also tend to be overlooked and underfunded.
