BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Community Foundation Boulder County<\/a>, Boulder County\u2019s trusted philanthropic partner for over 30 years, released a report entitled, \u201cBoulder County Wildfire Fund: Two Years of Support<\/a>.\u201d The two-year report on the Boulder County Wildfire Fund presents an overview, timeline and financial summary of the fund\u2019s activity to date, as well as outlines the work of the community foundation, in collaboration with various partners, to support the Boulder County community\u2019s immediate, short- and long-term recovery efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis report frames two years of collaboration, trust and hard work,\u201d said Tatiana Hernandez, CEO of Community Foundation Boulder County. \u201cThe outpouring of support, both financial and intangible, is an ongoing testament to the love and compassion that exists in Colorado and beyond.\u201d <\/p>\n

According to a 2015 study done by the Journal of Wildland Fire, the national average for homebuilding recovery in the aftermath of wildfires is 25% of homes rebuilt within five years. Now, just two years after the Marshall Fire, more than 72% of households have applied for building permits, and over 26% of homes have been rebuilt. <\/p>\n

“Credit for our community\u2019s success goes first and foremost to the residents and homeowners themselves, who have slogged through the daunting tasks of navigating insurance policies and making countless consequential decisions, all while processing the grief of what was lost,\u201d said Hernandez. \u201cWe recognize there are still families struggling to make ends meet or take next steps, and we will continue to support their needs, as long as funding is available.\u201d<\/p>\n

The community\u2019s efforts were bolstered by the support of local and state government agencies and nonprofits, including those that are supported by and distributing support from the Boulder County Wildfire Fund. Of the $43 million raised by the Boulder County Wildfire Fund, more than $41 million has been allocated to community needs, with over $30 million distributed.<\/p>\n
