Donna Murrill, a longtime Butte County resident, was forced to evacuate twice during the Camp Fire in 2018. The experience affected her profoundly.

 

She decided to leave part of her estate – more than $1.7 million – to NVCF for future wildfire recovery efforts. The Donna Murrill Fund has awarded grants of more than $100,000 to several organizations. The fund, meanwhile, has grown to more than $2 million through investment income, ensuring that Donna Murrill will be helping others for many years.
