The Pasadena Community Foundation (PCF) has opened the Eaton Canyon Fire Relief and Recovery Fund to provide an opportunity for those who want to support immediate and pressing needs in the aftermath of the devastating Eaton Fire. PCF initially seeded the fund with an initial $100,000 and as of February 5, 2025, the Fund has raised nearly $12 million. We’ll need much more to address the immense needs of our community now and in the following months and years.
PCF is actively working with Altadena and Pasadena leaders and nonprofit organizations to assess and evaluate how to best deploy our resources. Together, we are committed to ensuring that resources reach those who need them most.
