Tassajara Fire Fund Created
The Community Foundation for Monterey has created the Tassajara Fire Fund to assist the Carmel Valley community in recovery efforts from the 2015 Tassajara Fire. Donations to this fund will provide support in the aftermath of the fire. Grants from the fund will be distributed to nonprofit agencies assisting individuals and organizations to meet needs as they arise.
The CFMC has waived all administrative fees so 100% of donations will be used for grantmaking. The funds will be used to make grants to agencies providing emergency assistance, health and human services, short term housing/rental assistance, reimbursement of equipment and supplies, and other immediate relief or long-term recovery support for the Tassajara community. The fund will provide a trusted repository for philanthropic assets to be directed specifically for this purpose.
