Ventura County Mountain Fire – Donations – Ventura County Community Foundation

The County of Ventura, in partnership with the Ventura County Community Foundation, has established an emergency fund accepting donations to support community members and local nonprofit organizations most affected by the Mountain Fire.

The Ventura County Wildfire Relief and Recovery Fund is open for giving and is dedicated to supporting individuals and nonprofit organizations that provide essential aid to those most affected in times of crisis.

One hundred percent of contributions go directly toward relief efforts, focusing resources on those who need it most. It is human nature to feel compassion when a disaster strikes. You want to help and you want to do it quickly so the money or goods can begin helping those in need immediately. Community donations in the wake of a disaster can be powerful, but they can also be overwhelming. 

Please visit the VCCF donation webpage for donation options.

Providing a financial contribution of any size to an organization involved in disaster relief is the most effective way of helping people in need after a disaster. A monetary donation allows the charities working on the ground to quickly provide support to individuals and families in need with direct financial assistance so they can purchase what they need as well as through the bulk purchase of supplies to address the ever-changing needs of those affected and, when possible, purchase through businesses local to the disaster, which supports economic recovery.
