As we take a moment to reflect during the most devastating fire season on record in the West, we are moved by your generosity during this difficult time. The fire season is far from over, but we thank you for responding immediately to the needs of Californians across my home state.
The first round of distributions from the California Wildfire Fund was sent at the end of August. During that time, the most critical needs were in the greater San Francisco Bay Area as the LNU, SCU, and CZU Complex fires were forcing families to flee their homes and calling upon first responders like never before.
Thanks to your support, these organizations are jumping into action:
As the fire season rages on, GlobalGiving will continue to closely monitor the situation and keep you updated on additional opportunities to support the survivors of the California wildfires. We are committed to providing ongoing support to those most affected, long after the media moves on.
Your generous support makes this work possible.
Thank you!
With Gratitude,
Donna Callejon + the GlobalGiving Team
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
