火災の影響を受けた非営利団体がベンチュラ郡コミュニティ財団の基金に申請可能

Ventura County nonprofits who have been immediately affected by the fires and are assisting those in urgent 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.

“Disaster response relies tremendously on the nonprofit community, and while they provide aid, there are often costs and expenses that were not budgeted and can really strain already stretched budgets. With that in mind, we launched the SUN Fund,” said Vanessa Bechtel, president and CEO of the VCCF.

The purpose of the SUN Fund is to avoid the loss of critical safety net services provided by nonprofits and to respond to immediate or unexpected needs or special funding opportunities where a small investment will make a big difference. The SUN Fund provides a quick funding response where other funding sources are not available, Bechtel said.

この新しい助成金プログラムにより、インターフェイス・チルドレン・アンド・ファミリー・サービス社は、停電時に211コミュニティ・サービス・ホットラインを運営するための発電機をすでに調達している。

その他の資金調達可能なプロジェクトの例としては、緊急サービス提供中に故障した建物や機械システムの緊急修理、災害やトラウマ的な出来事によって深刻な影響を受けた子どもたちを支援する学校の進路指導カウンセラーを対象とした心的外傷後ストレス障害に関する研修など、組織の活動を補強するためのリソースが挙げられる。

Organizations can apply for funding online at www.vccf.org. For details, contact Breanne Foster at [email protected] or (805) 988-0196. People wanting to contribute to the fund can donate or get details about sending donations at the VCCF ウェブサイト.
