Fire Recovery Fund Grants

Five years after the devastating CZU Lightning Complex Fires, generous donations to the Fire Recovery Fund are still making an impact.
The Fire Recovery Fund was established on August 19, 2020, while evacuation orders were still being issued. Donations provided immediate support to nonprofit organizations for relief efforts and are now supporting long-term recovery for fire survivors as they navigate the complex work of rebuilding their homes and lives.
Thanks to you, we’ve awarded over $7 million.
Today, we're working with the Long-Term Recovery Group to provide grants that bridge funding gaps for hundreds of residents as they navigate the rebuilding process. Grants help families develop attainable recovery plans, including identifying construction and repair resources for damaged or destroyed property, and help purchase temporary housing solutions to get families back on their land while they rebuild.
It takes a village
We couldn't have done any of this without you, and there is still a lot of hard work ahead. Thank you.
