California Community Foundation
CCF is focused on finding long-term, comprehensive solutions that address the vital issues concerning quality of life in Los Angeles County.
The California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund in partnership with Pasadena Community Foundation and UniHealth Foundation invites grant applications from nonprofit organizations, grassroots groups, healing practitioners, and community-led initiatives or coalitions to support efforts that foster community healing and restoration. We seek proposals for projects that provide community and peer-based, culturally affirming services aimed at strengthening connections, promoting collective well-being, and addressing the emotional, spiritual, and social needs of those impacted by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
We seek to fund projects that:
Build and deepen social connections and collective resilience through shared, joyful, and culturally meaningful activities that nurture community well-being and restoration.
Restore and strengthen the emotional, spiritual, and social bonds within impacted communities, fostering a renewed sense of safety, dignity, and hope.
Support mental health and collective healing through culturally affirming, creative, and alternative practices that honor shared experiences and resilience.
