Donations to the Mountain Fire Emergency Fund

The County of Ventura, in partnership with the Ventura County Community Foundation, has established an emergency fund accepting donations to support community members and local nonprofit organizations most affected by the Mountain Fire.

The Ventura County Wildfire Relief and Recovery Fund is open for giving and is dedicated to supporting individuals and nonprofit organizations that provide essential aid to those most affected in times of crisis.

One hundred percent of contributions go directly toward relief efforts, focusing resources on those who need it most.

On Saturday, the VCCF Board of Directors authorized the immediate distribution of $20,000 in direct financial assistance to support eight families who lost their housing in the wildfire to secure temporary housing and other essentials.

Additionally, $10,000 in financial assistance was allocated to cover costs for emergency animal evacuations and ongoing care, ensuring that pets and livestock displaced by the fire are safe. These grant funds were specific contributions from local donors to support animal welfare.

More than 130 individual donations have come through in the initial days, demonstrating the power of philanthropy and our community’s generosity.

Please help spread the word so that we can best support our neighbors during this very difficult time.
