"what we have to do with all of that generosity is assure that we are spreading it out over what may be a number of years."elizabeth brown, president of community foundation sonoma county, says in most disasters, 75 percent of funds raised come in immediately, and are given out immediately.that's part one of the timeline - relief.the north bay fire relief fund, for example, raised 22 million dollars, and plans to spend áall of that money by may 31st. that's about the time that other groups will just ábegin spending their money for the mid-term phase, or recovery. "you don't know yet what you don't know in some ways, and you have to be patient and learn what really your long-term strategy will be." think of it this way - tipping point community raised 17 million dollars through the band together benefit concert - and just announced another concert coming up on the 14th, because the fires are still so recent.but if organizations were to run out of relief money too quickly, it would be virtually impossible to have a successful fundraiser, say three years after the fires happened.around that time, these nonprofits will be trying to help with things like mental health."this was really a collective, traumatic experience, and i think things like post-traumatic stress - you don't see that immediately, so that's one of the things i think we're going to need a lot of mental health support for the victims of the fire."brown says the meeting today was a good first step in laying a strategy for distributing all the funds.
