COMMUNITY RESILIENCE FUND

Local giving.
Lasting possibilities.

Heat, wildfire smoke, outages, rising utility costs, and aging infrastructure affect everyday life. The communities facing the greatest barriers often have the fewest resources to respond.

NCERF is developing a community-centered giving program to help turn local priorities into practical projects. Our aim is to connect generosity with project planning, trusted partnerships, and solutions that make homes and community places healthier, safer, and more resilient.

WHAT GIVING CAN HELP MAKE POSSIBLE

Resilience takes many forms.

Healthier homes

Project planning around heat, smoke, energy affordability, and more comfortable homes.

Reliable clean energy

Exploring efficient equipment, solar, storage, and outage readiness with local partners.

Stronger community places

Preparing projects for trusted facilities, healthier watersheds, and essential local infrastructure.

These are intended areas of support, not current grant awards or guarantees of assistance. Explore all six program areas →

OUR INTENDED APPROACH

From generosity to community priorities.

Listen locally

Start with community-identified needs and the people most affected.

Prepare practical projects

Connect planning, technical expertise, and potential funding partners.

Share what we learn

Build a reporting approach that explains how resources are used and what projects accomplish as the program develops.

Giving program in development. NCERF submitted its application for IRS recognition of tax-exempt status on September 11, 2026. A determination is pending. Online giving will open after payment setup is complete. To discuss a gift now, send a giving inquiry.
GIVING QUESTIONS

Clarity before you contribute.

Can I give once or monthly?

We are preparing one-time and monthly giving options, including the ability to choose your own amount. Online giving is coming soon. In the meantime, contact us to discuss your interest in supporting community resilience.

Can I support a particular project?

Contact us to discuss a community or project you care about. Project-specific campaigns and restricted-gift terms have not yet been established; this form is for the Community Resilience Fund.

Is my contribution tax-deductible?

Our application for IRS recognition of tax-exempt status was submitted on September 11, 2026, and a determination is pending. We are not representing contributions as tax-deductible at this stage.

Does a donation offset my carbon emissions?

No certified carbon offset is offered. NCERF’s focus is community resilience. Any future emissions claims would require a defined measurement and verification approach.

Where can I find funded projects and results?

NCERF is in development, so no completed grant awards or impact totals are presented here. Project stories and reporting can be added as verified results become available.
