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.

El nuevo programa de subvenciones ya ha financiado un generador eléctrico para que Interface Children and Family Services pueda utilizar la línea directa de servicios comunitarios 211 durante los cortes de electricidad.

Otros ejemplos de proyectos financiables son las reparaciones de emergencia de un edificio o de los sistemas mecánicos que fallaron mientras se prestaban servicios de emergencia, y el suministro de recursos para aumentar la labor de la organización, como formación sobre el trastorno de estrés postraumático para orientadores escolares que ayudan a niños gravemente afectados por una catástrofe o un suceso traumático.

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.
