Northern California Wildfires Fund

About

In recent weeks, fires in Northern California have broken out and expanded, burning nearly 185,000 acres of land and leaving communities devastated. Bright Funds has established the Northern California Wildfire Fund to support those who are affected by the wildfires. This Fund is comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits providing disaster response in the region. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations’ initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. We have initially selected organizations that are on the ground assisting with immediate relief needs, including rescue efforts and medical assistance. The composition of nonprofits in this Fund is subject to change as we learn more about the needs on the ground.

Your Donation Supports

North Coast Opportunities Inc

NCO is committed to supporting the needs of fire survivors from the devastating Lake County wildfires of 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

NCO continues to provide resources and services to fire survivors. It began in 2015, when NCO started managing the fiscal donations in the immediate aftermath of each fire. NCO then disbursed those funds to fire survivors through an application process. NCO is now administering assistance through our disaster case management process, providing food to survivors through our weekly food pantries, and utilizing AmeriCorps VISTA service members to assist with recovery.

American National Red Cross

Along with community partners, the Red Cross is providing hot meals and distributing comfort kits to impacted families. Red Cross disaster workers have numerous other shelters, cots and shelter items on stand-by to be able to respond quickly if needed. The Red Cross is working closely with state and local officials to expand the relief response if necessary to make sure people get the help they need.
