In response to the wildfires that ignited across eight northern California counties late Sunday October 8th, Bright Funds has established the California Wildfires Response and Recovery Fund. This Fund is comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits providing disaster response in the region. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations' initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. We have initially selected organizations that are on the ground assisting with immediate relief needs, including rescue efforts and medical assistance. The composition of nonprofits in this Fund is subject to change as we learn more about the needs on the ground.

The immediate needs of those affected by the wildfires are great, and the recovery process will be long and difficult in communities throughout several states. The list below are organizations providing immediate and long-term relief. Please note donations to this Fund will be distributed equally to the organizations listed below. If you would only like to donate directly to one or more, but not all, please use the campaign option and select only the organization(s) or you can upload your receipt and select the wildfire campaign.
