The Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s California Wildfires Recovery Fund supports communities across the state as they work to rebuild and recover from wildfires.
Last month, Philanthropy California virtually convened over 600 funders from across California for a day dedicated to philanthropy's role in strengthening our democracy and civic engagement during this unprecedented moment.
California is in the midst of another historic wildfire season. Already, several major and lesser-known fires have destroyed communities and displaced tens of thousands of residents throughout Northern California.

From learning to action, Philanthropy California partners with our statewide members to increase impact investment knowledge and action in California.
Over the last several years, communities across California have experienced a whiplash of disaster impacts from catastrophic wildfires, to record snow, to extreme heat and drought, to severe flooding. The seemingly continuous cycle of climate threat in vulnerable communities, coupled with a focus by funders on immediate response, leaves communities with next to no resources to build broad long-term, equity-driven resilience to recurring natural hazards and humanitarian disasters.
Last year, Philanthropy California hosted a conversation titled: California Disaster Philanthropy Briefing: From Episodic Relief to Transformative Resilience where we uplifted the need for philanthropy to resource transformative resilience and shift away from ineffective models of funding disasters only in the immediate aftermath of a specific event. Public and private funding should move towards long-term investments in building the capacity of communities to respond, recover, and build resilience to all types of hazards. In light of recent events across the state, we are uplifting the need for immediate response and renewing our call for a significant shift in the way funders across California approach climate and disaster grantmaking.
The time to ensure the count is here! The 2020 Census has faced many challenges — the attempt to include an untested citizenship question, delays in funding, and now the untold impact of COVID-19.

This analysis attempts to follow the early flows of Proposition 4 funding as they translate into projects, places, and partnerships on the ground. The findings in this report point to a broader truth: climate resilience funding is not just about how much money is available, but about whether communities are equipped to access, absorb, and deploy it.
As California recovers from one of the worst wildfire disasters in its history, there is growing concern and confusion regarding the rapid changes happening to federal emergency management infrastructure and policy. Fortunately, Philanthropy California has a strong network of partners who are already providing research, policy analysis, and real-time context of the shifting landscape in D.C., which the philanthropic sector can leverage to inform their approach to disaster preparedness and resilience.
Funders for LGBTQ Issues, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees, and Philanthropy California are united in opposition to the proposed changes to Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. LGBTQ people, immigrants, and people seeking reproductive care will be hurt by these proposed changes. As philanthropic serving organizations dedicated to the health and wellbeing of these communities, and social justice values more broadly, we are speaking out and taking action.
If 2018 was the year of the woman in politics, 2019 will be the year we seize on that momentum to accelerate gender justice by shifting culture.
Your donation to the CFF Wildfire and Disaster Relief Fund directly supports victims of wildfires and disasters throughout California.
On December 6, we look forward to sharing and discussing the next steps to advance our long-term agenda and building momentum for emergent near-term efforts in 2020.
