I
Family Grants
Modest, direct assistance for the essentials recovery demands: utility deposits, children's clothing, school supplies, transportation support, and relocation essentials.
Give
Help the next family start again.
Your gift becomes deposits on temporary housing, clothes for children, and momentum for a family's fresh start, the small, urgent things that decide whether recovery begins on time.
Where your gift goes
Directed at the gap, not the overhead.
Gifts to the foundation support the programs that stand with families after catastrophe: practical help, quickly, with dignity.
II
Fundraiser Seeding
Early gifts to community fundraisers for displaced families, giving each campaign momentum and showing the community that this family is worth rallying around.
III
72-Hour Recovery Guide
The free, public field guide for the first three days after a fire, and the community resources that carry it to the families who need it.
