After the fire and flood, you can make a difference in The Canyon:
The Canyon Recovery & Emergency Fund
The Canyon Alliance is building a post-fire and flood Recovery & Emergency Fund to provide grants for urgent projects that speed up our recovery and strengthen our resilience over the coming months and years. Our community’s goal is $150,000. In just two months we have raised more than $100,000 from nearly 100 generous donors. Please join with them and your Canyon community to help us reach our goal by the end of May 2025.
Your donation will allow the Canyon Alliance to act quickly and decisively in this post-fire period and respond to unexpected emergencies. Your donation is tax-deductible and the first $50 pays your annual SMCCA dues.
