The Community Foundation for Mendocino County’s Board of Directors created this fund to provide disaster relief and recovery services in the aftermath of a natural disaster. This currently includes the Redwood Complex Fire of October 2017 and the Mendocino Complex Fire of July/August 2018.
What is the purpose of the Disaster Fund?
This fund was created by the Community Foundation’s Board of Directors to provide disaster relief and recovery services in the aftermath of a natural disaster. The fund was created by a lead gift from the Community Foundation’s Board of Directors in response to the drought conditions in the Spring/Summer of 2014.

What type of assistance is given?
The funds are primarily awarded to provide disaster relief and recovery services to households impacted by a natural disaster, which can include meals, temporary housing assistance, essential household items, medical care or counseling, and long-term housing grants.
Currently the funds are being distributed through Mendocino-ROC, the long-term recovery committees, for the relief, recovery, and resiliency following the Redwood Complex Fires of October 2017.
To receive assistance, survivors of the Redwood Complex Fire should contact the Mendocino-ROC Resource Room at (707) 621-8817.
