Ventura County Community Foundation is accepting donations for Mountain Fire relief, with 100% of funds aiding local residents and nonprofits.
In response to the Mountain Fire, the County of Ventura and Ventura County Community Foundation (VCCF) have launched an emergency relief fund to aid those most impacted by the wildfire. Donations can be made to the Ventura County Wildfire Relief and Recovery Fund at vccf.org/donate, with all proceeds supporting community members and local nonprofits on the front lines of relief and recovery.
The wildfire, which began on November 6 near Moorpark, quickly expanded to over 20,500 acres due to strong Santa Ana winds. The Ventura County Wildfire Relief and Recovery Fund will ensure that 100% of contributions are directed toward immediate and essential relief efforts. VCCF has previously coordinated millions in relief for fires like the Thomas, Hill, and Woolsey fires, ensuring impactful and meaningful support reaches those most affected. As the Mountain Fire’s status evolves, VCCF will continue to work closely with government and nonprofit partners to respond effectively to community needs.
“Through this fund, our community has a vital lifeline for those impacted by the wildfire,” said Ventura County CEO Dr. Sevet Johnson. “This fund exemplifies our county’s commitment to provide swift and direct support to individuals and nonprofit organizations on the front lines.”
VCCF also encourages everyone to stay informed and prioritize safety. For updates on evacuation zones and shelter information, visit vcemergency.com or call (805) 465-6650.
“Ventura County’s resilience and generosity have always been stronger than the devastation of wildfires,” said VCCF Board Member Leah Lacayo. “We’re grateful to the County and first responders for their dedication. VCCF stands ready to help our community during these times of need.”
