*As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community foundation, Innovia Foundation is subject to federal regulations that require charitable funds to be distributed through eligible nonprofit organizations. Innovia will not use donated dollars to offer direct assistance to individuals, rather 100% of gifts to the fund will be distributed to vetted nonprofit organizations providing services to affected individuals and families. This ensures that donations are deployed effectively and transparently to those who need it most. Community rebuilding will take years. As this disaster continues to unfold in our community, Innovia’s Spokane Complex Wildfire Response Fund exists both to alleviate the urgent needs our community is facing today, and to meet the long-term needs of rebuilding that will arise in the weeks, months, and years of recovery ahead.
