Ventura County nonprofits that were affected by the fires and are assisting those in need can apply for relief funding through the Ventura County Community Foundation’s Sudden and Urgent Need Fund for grants of up to $5,000.

The purpose of the SUN Fund is to avoid the loss of safety-net services provided by nonprofits and to respond quickly to immediate or unexpected needs or special funding opportunities where a small investment will make a big difference.

Det nye tilskudsprogram har allerede finansieret en strømgenerator til Interface Children and Family Services, så de kan drive hotlinen 211 under strømafbrydelser.

Andre eksempler på projekter, der kan finansieres, er nødreparationer på en bygning eller mekaniske systemer, der svigtede, mens de leverede nødhjælp, og tilvejebringelse af ressourcer til at øge organisationens arbejde, f.eks. uddannelse i posttraumatisk stress for skolevejledere, der støtter børn, der er hårdt ramt af en katastrofe eller traumatisk begivenhed.

The foundation was established in 1987 and endeavors to build philanthropy in the region for the well-being of all in Ventura County. VCCF invests in the future through scholarships, grant making and collaborative partnerships.
