Several people stand in front of a blazing fire, glowing red against the horizon.

The Southern California wildfires have been a devastating start to the new year – as of Thursday morning, the fires have burned about 45 square miles, destroying communities and forcing over 100,000 people to evacuate. 

We are sending love and support to the individuals, families, and communities impacted by the wildfires. During these difficult times of crisis, we believe in the importance of collective care and action. 

Our partners at California Community Foundation and Pasadena Community Foundation have activated funds to provide essential aid and support recovery. Learn more and support the funds below: 

Together, we can help ensure those affected have the resources they need to rebuild and recover. Thank you for supporting our neighbors and communities.

In solidarity, 

Brandi Howard

President and CEO, East Bay Community Foundation

The East Bay Needs You Today

The government shutdown is threatening vital services like food assistance, leaving our most vulnerable neighbors at risk. At the same time, increased ICE activity is creating fear and instability—parents are afraid to pick up their children from school or go to work.

East Bay Community Foundation is deeply rooted in the community and connected to the organizations doing the most impactful work. If you’re concerned about these urgent issues, make a gift or request a transfer from your donor-advised fund. Our team will ensure your donation reaches the groups best equipped to respond to today’s most pressing needs.
