Fire Years of Gratitude
The Butte Strong Fund, a partnership of the North Valley Community Foundation, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and the Aaron Rodgers NorCal Fire Recovery Fund, aims to provide long-term recovery to communities impacted by the Camp Fire.
Disaster Case Management
Read our story about case management and how the system developed, as well as the stories of three individuals who were able to regain hope with the care and support of disaster case managers.
The North Valley Community Foundation and its Butte Strong Fund have granted more than $12 million to help build a case management system and then provide assistance to survivors.
Camp Fire Fund Grant Program
After five years of grants and more than $67 million committed to Camp Fire recovery, we will be focusing on a grant program to support the ongoing issues of recovery.
The grant program will make grants to qualifying nonprofit organizations and government agencies that remain active in recovery in the Camp Fire footprint. These grants will typically range from $500 to $10,000.
Please review the grant guidelines before applying. If you have questions regarding the grant application process or the guidelines, contact our grants team at grants@nvcf.org

AREAS OF WORK
HOUSING
The Butte Strong Fund is working with community organizations to benefit displaced families.
HEALTH & WELLNESS
The effect of sudden changes in population redistribution can have a big impact on health and wellness for the community as a whole.
EDUCATION
It's traumatic for a child to lose a home. It's exponentially traumatic to lose a school as well.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
When people talk about what was destroyed in the Camp Fire, they often talk about places that were symbolic of the area.
BUSINESS RECOVERY
Hundreds of businesses were destroyed in the Camp Fire. Others were damaged. Those that have managed to reopen or are still deciding whether to reopen face uncertainty.
DIRECT ASSISTANCE
Working with our nonprofit community partners and disaster case managers, we have granted millions of dollars to provide assistance to survivors.

PARTNERS & MAJOR DONORS
After opening its doors to first responders and community members in the immediate aftermath of the Camp Fire, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. began a long-term fundraising campaign. The brewery launched Resilience Butte County Proud IPA, a collaborative fundraising project with more than 1,400 breweries worldwide that raised millions of dollars for Camp Fire relief. As short-term relief gave way to long-term recovery, the family-run company has been a valuable, engaged partner every step of the way.
The Aaron Rodgers NorCal Fire Recovery Fund was established in the immediate aftermath of the Camp Fire to support programs that offer youths stability in the face of crisis, support the local youth sports infrastructure and support the process of bringing permanent and transitional housing back to the burned area.
