The Lake County Community Foundation (LCCF) has established the Lake County Comes Together Emergent Needs Fund to provide swift assistance in response to emergencies such as the Boyle Fire. The fund enables LCCF to act rapidly, ensuring immediate relief reaches those most in need by supporting local nonprofit organizations serving victims and their families. 100% of donations will stay within Lake County to support local disaster response.
The purpose of the fund is to provide direct assistance to individuals affected by disasters, as well as to support the nonprofits that serve those victims in the aftermath of such events. Additionally, the fund ensures that donors' contributions are directed to the intended cause, providing peace of mind amidst the rise of fraudulent sites that often appear during disasters or emergencies. In the event that not all funds are needed for immediate relief efforts, any unused donations will be returned to the general fund to address future emergent needs. This approach ensures that the LCCF is prepared to respond quickly and effectively to future events that impact on our community.*
The Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, donations are tax-deductible.
