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

ALOJAMIENTO
Butte Strong Fund está trabajando con organizaciones comunitarias para beneficiar a las familias desplazadas.
SALUD Y BIENESTAR
El efecto de cambios repentinos en la redistribución de la población puede tener un gran impacto en la salud y el bienestar de la comunidad en su conjunto.
EDUCACIÓN
Es traumático que un niño pierda un hogar. También es exponencialmente traumático perder una escuela.
DESARROLLO COMUNITARIO
Cuando la gente habla de lo que fue destruido en Camp Fire, a menudo habla de lugares que eran simbólicos de la zona.
RECUPERACIÓN EMPRESARIAL
Cientos de negocios fueron destruidos en Camp Fire. Otros resultaron dañados. Aquellos que han logrado reabrir o aún están decidiendo si reabrirán se enfrentan a la incertidumbre.
