About 805 UndocuFund

Since its creation in 2018, the 805 UndocuFund has not only distributed over $8M in disaster financial relief to more than 6,000 undocumented residents during disasters such as the Thomas Fire and COVID-19 but it has also become a trusted and familiar source of information and support for Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties’ immigrant community when disaster hits. We are a California Central Coast community based 501(c)3 governed by a volunteer board of directors made up of leaders from immigrant-serving Central Coast organizations Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP), Central Coastal Alliance United for A Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) and Future Leaders of America, who provide organizational and volunteer support. The McCune Foundation provides key leadership support, and the Ventura County Community Foundation (VCCF) provides fundraising and fund administrative support. Unlike other disaster victims, undocumented individuals and families are excluded from federal disaster relief and social safety nets offered to others to recover. That is why we envision a future where undocumented individuals and families have equitable access to resources to rebuild their lives with dignity after disaster. Our mission is to mobilize resources when disaster hits, providing short-term financial relief to undocumented residents, and advocate for long-term systems change to ensure they are effectively included in disaster response and recovery.
