The North Dakota Community Foundation (NDCF) has established the 2024 Western North Dakota Fire Relief Fund to assist in disaster response and recovery efforts

Individuals and businesses that would like to donate online can click on the button above, or mail your check made out to "North Dakota Community Foundation" with "Fire Relief" in the memo line to:

North Dakota Community Foundation
PO BOX 387
Bismarck, ND 58502

All gifts to the 2024 Western North Dakota Fire Relief Fund are tax-deductible as charitable contributions. NDCF will waive its usual management fees so 100% of gifts will go to the disaster response (online credit card processing fees still apply).  You will receive a tax receipt from NDCF for your gift.

Monies raised through this fund will be given as grants to organizations responding to this disaster and recovery efforts, e.g. local fire districts, first responders, food pantries, etc.  NDCF does not grant directly to individuals.

NDCF cannot accept in-kind gifts, such as hay or household goods.  If you would like to make a donation of hay to help ranchers impacted by this disaster, please call the Hay Hotline at 701-328-5110 or visit their webpage.  You can find other resources or ways to help on the State's Wildfire Recovery webpage.

Questions about making a monetary donation should be directed to the NDCF main office at 701-222-8349.

Thank you for your concern for our fellow North Dakotans!
