The Chaffee County Community Foundation has launched a permanent Emergency Response Fund.

It will allow individuals and businesses who want to contribute to emergency response in Chaffee County the mechanism to do so. 

If you would like to give to the Emergency Response Fund, go online to https://cccf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create?setc=1&funit_id=1165 to be taken directly to the CCCF’s Donor Portal. 

This fund will support the Decker Fire response and recovery, as appropriate and as needed, in coordination with Chaffee County government officials, nonprofits and Salida relief stakeholders. 

Beyond the current situation, it will also establish a permanent bucket of local monies dedicated to responding to future, local emergencies. 

The Chaffee County Community Foundation will not charge any administrative fees for this fund and donations are tax deductible.
