[OMS_MANAGERS] Follow-up to our conversation this morning about resources/info regarding wildfire recovery/assistance

[STUART Sheri * OPRD]

NAO shared some heartening news: Governor Brown announced that, at her request, The Ford Family Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust and the Oregon Community Foundation have established 2020 Community Rebuilding Fund<https://oregoncf.org/oregon-wildfire-relief-recovery/community-rebuilding-fund/> with the goal “to  gather resources  and  plan for  what comes next after the extraordinary devastation brought by wildfires across a state already reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic and  consequences of  racial injustice.”  The fund will seek to leverage public investment with private and philanthropic investment to catalyze a rebuilding effort for a stronger Oregon. As the fund has just been launched, we do not yet have information on how it will work, what criteria will be used for eligibility and other key issues. NAO will work to get that clarity as soon as possible.

NAO has curated a set of resources and links and created an Oregon Wildfire Response Resources<https://nonprofitoregon.org/news/wildfire> page to help you and your organizations navigate these difficult times. If your nonprofit is responding to communities impacted by the fires, please be sure to connect with your local county Office of Emergency Management, United Ways and County/Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COADs).
