TAF’s Wildfire Relief & Recovery Fund
Supports relief, rebuilding and revitalization of Plumas County communities impacted by wildfire.
Tragically, in recent years wildfires have become more dangerous, happen more frequently and are incredibly destructive.
More specifically, our region has suffered immensely. The impact of these fires has been felt by everyone. It will take many years of collaborative work to rebuild and revitalize homes, and the health and wellbeing of our communities.
The goal of our Wildfire Relief & Recovery Fund is to work collaboratively with nonprofit, government, philanthropic and private sectors to accelerate recovery and rebuilding to create a thriving, resilient and even stronger region.

Wildfire Relief & Recovery Grants
We are particularly interested in serving the needs of those with the least resources and most needs, who have the most challenging time recovering.
Grants go to organizations doing the frontline work in relief and recovery.
We also seek to fill gaps – providing shorter-term, catalytic funding that is not available elsewhere and has the potential to leverage longer-term ongoing support. We want to ensure that investments from our donors and grants leverage – but do not duplicate – other funding streams and lead to significant and measurable positive benefits for impacted households and the region as a whole.
We are honored to steward investments on behalf of a broad range of donors and will therefore design and implement the Wildfire Relief & Recovery Fund transparently, with accountability and in accordance with the principles of Partnership, Collaboration, focus on the Most Vulnerable, Leverage, Impact and Sustainability.
