GoFundMe's Wildfire Relief Fund provides direct relief to people in need after a wildfire.

The Count Basie Center for the Arts is challenging the community to give to this effort.

To kick things off, we've made a $15,000 donation on behalf of our Board of Trustees, leadership team and the entire Count Basie Center family.

But we need your help to keep it going. The more we can raise, the more families we can assist as they put their lives back together following this harrowing tragedy.

Donations to this fund will deliver cash grants directly to those impacted by domestic (U.S.) wildfires. GoFundMe grants to verified individuals who qualify and are fundraising for themselves or on behalf of someone else, as well as fundraisers benefiting small businesses and community relief efforts, and vetted nonprofits coordinating long-term recovery.
