Allen Family Philanthropies Supports Recovery Efforts Following Spokane Area Wildfires
Allen Family Philanthropies (AFP) is providing a $500,000 grant to Innovia Foundation's Spokane Complex Wildfire Response Fund to support individuals, families, and communities recovering from the devastating wildfires that swept through the Spokane region in August 2026.
The Spokane Complex Fires that occurred in August of 2026 were the largest and most destructive fires in Washington state's history. They ripped through residential neighborhoods and forced the evacuation of more than 65,000 people and burned more than 10,000 acres across Eastern Washington. Hundreds of homes and other structures were damaged or destroyed, disrupting lives and creating long-term recovery needs for communities throughout the region.
AFP's grant will join others around the region to support both immediate assistance and longer-term rebuilding efforts through Innovia Foundation, the community foundation serving Eastern Washington and North Idaho. The fund provides resources for urgent needs such as emergency shelter, food, transportation, and clothing, while also helping communities recover and rebuild in the months and years ahead.
Through this grant, AFP joins community leaders, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and residents working together to help ensure affected communities have the resources needed to recover and rebuild stronger in the months and years ahead.
