Community to Community Together, We Rise
We depend on our partners and donors to support this work.
Our "Community to Community" program connects established and emerging leaders from wildfire-impacted areas with peers who have gone through successful wildfire recoveries in other regions. By working together collaboratively, these leaders navigate the long, challenging road to recovery with invaluable support and insights. Through this program, we foster a sense of unity and empower communities to rebuild stronger than ever. Externally, we use what we have learned from frontline communities to help national organizations better serve the needs of megafire survivors and communities. Our team pledges to offer assistance for the long term recovery, for at least three years, if the local community wants it.
Our services are always free of charge.

Recover Together
Where We Work
In Los Angeles, our Community to Community program brought together local leaders to connect, learn, and share with peers from wildfire-impacted regions across the country. Through meaningful exchanges and shared experiences, these delegations are building stronger recovery strategies rooted in collaboration, resilience, and hope.

"No community should begin at the beginning -- not when we have a vast network of wildfire survivors from all sectors and silos to help communities after wildfire. We let them know what's next, what mistakes we made, we share best practices and adaptable tools. Most of all, we LISTEN and then we walk alongside of them for the long-term slog of recovery. What do we ask in return? That they pay it forward to the next community ravaged by megafire."
