Restoration. Community. Stewardship.

The Central Sierra Resiliency Fund is a community initiative held at the Central Sierra Historical Society and Museum, Inc., a California 501(c) 3 tax exempt non-profit organization. In launching this effort, local community members and concerned professionals have collaborated to create a Resiliency Council to administer the restricted fund and determine funding recipients. We are collaborating with other local, state, and national organizations on projects to empower the local community to lead the revitalization effort after the Creek Fire

The Resiliency Fund will support long-term Creek Fire recovery efforts in communities within the vicinity of Fresno County’s Central Sierra region including, but not limited to, Huntington Lake, Lakeshore, Big Creek, Shaver Lake, Pine Ridge, Meadow Lakes, Alder Springs, and Auberry.

Visit our Community Stories section to learn more about how the stories of our past inspire resilience among the Central Sierra communities and consider sharing your story.

Resiliency Council

The Resiliency Council is a committee of the Board of the Central Sierra Historical Society, a California 501(c) 3 tax exempt non-profit organization. The Council: (1) establishes the goals and objectives for the Fund; (2) prioritizes geographic and project areas most in need of financial assistance; (3) coordinates and/or partners with individuals and other local, state, and national organizations and/or governmental entities to carry out the mission of the Fund; (4) determines funding recipients; and (5) submits funding decisions to the Central Sierra Historical Society Executive Committee for authorization, distribution, processing, and handling of all required documentation.
