Our Work
$6 Billion. Fought For. Won.
We helped deliver over $6 billion in tax relief for disaster survivors — and we're not done. We advocate at the federal level for policy that actually reflects what fire survivors need.
No Community Should Have to Invent Recovery Alone
We bring hard-won knowledge from 15+ fires directly to communities that need it most — connecting survivors, sharing what works, and filling the gaps others miss.
Wildfire Leadership Summit 2026
The Only 360° View of Megafire
The communities doing the work of recovery rarely get a seat at the table where recovery policy is shaped. This Summit changes that. Every year, wildfire-affected communities come together with leaders across the field to make sure their experience drives what comes next.
