As disasters resulting from natural hazards become more prevalent in the state of California, the purpose of this fund is to provide a centralized opportunity for funders to invest in disaster relief, recovery and resilience through community foundations – trusted intermediaries who are deeply connected to affected communities.
Community foundations are uniquely positioned to lead and support their communities when disaster strikes – and for many years afterward. They are purpose-built to get resources where they are needed most in a crisis, and to adapt quickly to changing needs on the ground. They have deep knowledge of their community’s needs, and strong trust-based relationships with local nonprofits, government, community leaders and donors.
The League of California Community Foundations builds and strengthens California’s communities by fostering collaboration and learning among the state’s community foundations.
