BNI-Misner Foundation Partners in California Wildfire Relief Fund
The BNI-Misner Charitable Foundation operates under the California Community Foundation. In response to the critical situation in Southern California, the California Community Foundation has established the "Southern California Wildfire Relief Fund." Grants made from this fund will support the early and advanced stages of rebuilding and reconstruction critical to long-term recovery efforts in Southern California.
The California Community Foundation will partner with the BNI-Misner Charitable Foundation to ensure the effective and efficient administration of funds. There will be no administration fees on this fund so that every dollar raised will go toward the rebuilding efforts. The California Community Foundation will match your contributions to the BNI-Misner Charitable Foundation—dollar for dollar—up to $100,000.
The creation of the Southern California Wildfire Relief Fund was announced on October 27, 2003, by Jack Shakely, the President of the California Community Foundation. "What we're announcing today is a fund that will help start the rebuilding process, reconstructing communities that have been damaged by the wildfires," Shakely said.
