Rising from the Ashes: From Immediate Disaster Relief to an Economic Renaissance

Build your place

What if disaster philanthropy led to equitable recovery, long-term power building, and economic justice? It’s possible. At this session, you’ll meet frontline leaders and be inspired to balance proactive and responsive grantmaking at your institution. Born out of our Wildfire Relief Fund, you’ll learn about LCF’s powerful Just Recovery model that invests boldly in grassroots leadership and power building, while strengthening response to community crises. LCF’s Just Recovery coalition has flourished and secured real wins for working-class Latino and Indigenous communities. Today, it is advancing an economic renaissance for the region. We can do philanthropy differently.
