PEF Eaton Fire Response Fund to Award Funds to Families & Staff

The Pasadena Educational Foundation will award financial aid to PUSD families and staff who are currently displaced or are facing serious financial hardship due to the fire.

  • Each approved household will receive at least $500 in financial aid.

  • Families and staff must submit an application by March 3, even if they previously completed a registration form.

  • PEF direct support is for any disaster-related expenses not paid for by FEMA, insurance, or other aid programs you received.

  •  Apply Now: pased.org/apply-fire-aid

If you prefer not to apply online, contact your school’s Community Assistant or PEF for a paper form. If you or anyone in your network has questions or needs assistance with the application, please reach out to responsefund@pased.org.  

PEF will confidentially verify with PUSD the information provided. If an application is approved, PEF may also share the applicant’s name and email address with its payment partner. PEF will not share information with any other party or government agency for any other purpose.

 PEF is committed to supporting our community—today, tomorrow, and for the future—to ensure that families, schools, and educators have the resources they need to recover and rebuild.
