Wildfire Relief Fund for Siskiyous Students and Employees (Fall 2021)

Thousands of California community college students, faculty, and staff have been impacted by devastating fires burning across our state. Our thoughts remain with all those affected by wildfires, now and over the past few years. We know to recover and rebuild takes significant time and resources. Past recipients of this grant support have used funds to relocate and to replace laptops, supplies, transportation, clothes, and food lost or destroyed in hasty evacuations.

Funding for the Siskiyous Wildfire Relief Fund is provided by the Foundation for California Community Colleges and is intended to help affected community college students and staff recover from the 2021 California wildfires.
