The Sonoma County Resilience Fund

Sonoma County has seen unbelievable hardship, and through it all, we continue to build tremendous resilience. Through wildfires, floods, and a global pandemic, the community has come together time and again to face incredible odds.

 

We acknowledge that climate change will continue to cause disasters and extreme weather in our community far into the future, so our investments today must be impactful for decades to come. 

  

The Sonoma County Resilience Fund is the only long-term recovery fund in Sonoma County dedicated to supporting those impacted by disaster. Since the 2017 wildfires, we have granted more than $19 million to support nonprofit organizations working on the front lines of disaster response and recovery.

These grants are focused on helping those affected, healing the long-term effects of trauma, housing solutions for our community, and preparedness for the next disaster. 

 

Our work continues.
