The Monterey County Fire Relief Fund supports 501(c)(3) nonprofits and public agencies assisting individuals and families affected by fire, evacuations and temporary loss of work. The grant range is $2,000-$30,000, applications are by invitation only, and decisions are made 'as needed' rather than on a fixed cycle. Recent grants include Big Sur Health Center ($30,000 for healthcare services for uninsured patients), Community Association of Big Sur (three awards of $30,000, $50,000 and $50,000 for Timber and Plaskett Fire immediate relief and general supplies) and The Big Share ($30,000 for Timber Fire food support).
