How You Can Support Communities Affected by the California Wildfires
Center for Disaster Philanthropy Facebook Post
Our hearts are with the communities affected by the devastating wildfires in California. These fires have ravaged homes, disrupted lives, and caused widespread destruction, leaving many facing unimaginable challenges as they work to rebuild.
Here in Vermont, we understand the strength of community and the critical importance of support in the wake of disaster. After the last two years of catastrophic floods, we have seen firsthand how critical it is for neighbors, both near and far, to come together to help. In our state, the Vermont Community Foundation has been able to rapidly mobilize funds through the VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund, thanks to generous contributions from across the country.
Now, we are committed to extending that same spirit of support to those affected by the California wildfires. Our Community Impact Team has carefully identified trusted organizations that are making a meaningful difference in supporting impacted communities.
If you’re looking to help, we encourage you to consider donating to the following organizations. Each is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and eligible to receive gifts from donor-advised funds at the Vermont Community Foundation:
-
California Community Foundation: Wildfire Recovery Fund
-
LA Food Bank Disaster Relief Fund
-
Center for Disaster Philanthropy: California Wildfires Recovery Fund
-
American Red Cross: California Wildfires 2025 Designated Fund
