The Sonoma County Resilience Fund

Sonoma County has seen unimaginable hardship these past five years.

 

A fire that destroyed over 5,300 homes in 2017, flooding and a 77,000 acre fire in 2019, and the compounding burden of the coronavirus.

 

The Sonoma County Resilience Fund is the only long-term recovery fund in Sonoma County dedicated to supporting residents impacted by disaster.

 

We have made more than $17 million in grants to support nonprofit organizations working on the front lines of disaster recovery.

 

Our work continues.
