Donation Support for SoCal 

State Park Fire Victims

Update from RF: I am quite happy to report that the Ranger Foundation has exceeded its goal in support of the park victims in the LA fires! The generous support of many people has resulted in $30,000 being donated for the fire victim relief effort.  No additional donations will be needed at this point. 

In addition, the California State Park Foundation has made a matching fund donation of $19,000 to the Ranger Foundation, so that fire victims can receive double the up to $1,000 initially available grants.  So, many thanks to the CSPF for their support of the state park family!  

A final report on all the disaster grants will be provided once all the grants are made.   If there are funds not expended for this disaster, they will remain in the Ranger Foundation Disaster Relief Fund for use in future disasters. Again, many thanks ❤️ to all the generous donors! Mike Lynch

Note from CSPRA President Ptomey: During this unprecedented disaster our Park Family is in need of your support. CSPRA is working with the Ranger Foundation to raise money to support relief efforts for park staff and their families directly affected by the fires in LA. 18 state park staff have been identified as being significantly financially impacted by the fires in Southern California and there are undoubtedly more, including park staff from other agencies.

Thanks to those who have already generously donated to help these victims! The Ranger Foundation hopes to raise at least $25,000 so that all the victims can be given an instant $1,000 grant to assist them immediately. More help is needed.
