Vision
Our WRF Community Healing & Restoration Request for Proposals (RFP) is grounded in the belief that healing and recovery from the LA Wildfires is most powerful when it is community-led, culturally resonant, and accessible to those most impacted.

Restore and strengthen the emotional, spiritual, and social bonds within impacted communities, fostering a renewed sense of safety, dignity, and hope.
Support mental health and collective healing through culturally affirming, creative, and alternative practices that honor shared experiences and resilience.
Build and deepen social connections and collective resilience through shared, joyful, and culturally meaningful activities that nurture community well-being and restoration.
We welcome a broad range of community healing & restoration offerings, especially those not often funded in traditional systems. Please see the full RFP for complete details, including examples of eligible project activities.
