Classroom Recovery: Ensuring that educators can rebuild, replenish and renew learning materials that were lost or damaged in the fires, or will support a smooth transition to a new learning environment. Grants can provide new supplies, learning materials for projects, classroom design or curricular alignment.  

Providing Mental Health Supports for Staff and Students: Educators can be first responders in supporting students and peers. Grants can help bring in additional resources, services, or tools that support mental health, wellness, trauma-informed care, or other strategies to ensure a safe and welcoming learning environment and workplace.  

Supporting Displaced Students: Funding is available for schools and classrooms welcoming new students from affected communities. Grants can support additional supplies, social and community building exercises, or other strategies intended to ease the transition for students enrolling in new schools. 

Building Climate Resiliency at School Campuses: Grants will support school sites that are integrating new strategies to generate awareness about climate resiliency, implement practical new strategies on campus, or engage the broader school community to support a longer-term sustainability efforts.  

Special Projects: If you have a vision for how to support fire affected communities that are not included in these above categories, we’d love to hear from you. Grants could support enrichment activities including field trips, community building across campuses, community service beyond the school campus, or other projects that require additional resources and lead to transformational change.
