Thank you for your generous support of the Ventura County Community Foundation. We wanted to share an update on the progress and plans related to the Conejo Valley Victim’s Fund:
After immediately distributing $310,000 in cash assistance and $500 prepaid Visa cards related to the Borderline shooting, we are moving forward into the final stages of financial support distribution. After arduous due diligence, we have launched an application site for victims and survivors to apply for funding: www.ConejoValleyVictimsFund.org. We are honored to partner with Give An Hour who will lead efforts to provide mental health, emotional and case management support to victims during this application process.
100% of the funds raised will continue to be used to assist the families who lost loved ones, the victims who were physically injured, and those present inside the Borderline Bar & Grill that tragic night. The payments from the Conejo Valley Victims Fund are to be apportioned in accordance with the severity of the injury to the victims arising from the disaster in Thousand Oaks, California on November 7, 2018.
We have received donations from all over the world, in response to this tragic event. In additon to the numerous donations, there have been many community events to help raise funds for the victims of this shooting There have been fundraising concerts, speical tee-shirts being sold, collections from churches and businesses, lemonade stands and so much more. It has been amazing to see all the support that continues to come in to help the victims.
The applications are due next week and funds will soon be distributed to the victims. For more informaiton on that process you can visit the website above or the links to our website below.
