Los Angeles County Education Wildfire Recovery Fund @GLAEF
The Greater Los Angeles Education Foundation (GLAEF) has established a dedicated fund to direct vital resources to students, families and educators that have been most affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles County.
​
The Los Angeles County Wildfire Relief Fund @GLAEF will be used to support critical recovery efforts through the rebuilding process in the weeks ahead. Our partners at the Los Angeles County Office of Education are coordinating regular calls with leadership from districts and other leaders from across the county. The fund will complement local strategies, leverage aligned resources and address the most urgent needs facing our communities.
Funds will be used to support strategies including:
Basic Needs Relief
Funds can support access to food, clothes and school supplies, clean water, vital home goods, infant and small child essentials, and practical support like transportation, and emergency relief grants.
Counseling
Supplemental support for school site counselors to help families, students and staff navigate trauma and stress related to the fires.
Legal Support
Resources and guidance for families navigating complicated bureaucratic and legal issues.
Infrastructure Support
Access to air filtration, KN95 masks and campus improvements to ensure ventilation and safe conditions for teaching and learning.
Enrichment Activities
Access to programs, as well as games, books and other activities that can restore normalcy and joy to students – some of whom have lost everything.
All Fund resources will directly support regional recovery efforts and those displaced or impacted by the fires. Thank you for your support as we collaborate with regional partners to ensure a robust and efficient rebuilding process.
