Administered by Restaurants Care, a program of the California Restaurant Foundation (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has been supporting California's restaurant community since 1981), the Resilience Fund was launched in 2021 and has since awarded over $11 million in grants to more than 2,000 independent restaurants across the state, supporting burger joints, taquerias, bakeries, and other independently owned operators that serve as the heart of their communities. The fund is supported by corporate partners including PG&E, SoCalGas, Sysco, FreshPoint, J. Lohr Vineyards, EcoLab, Employers, and others. Applications are offered once per year, with multiple grant recipients selected annually (in 2026, the program awarded $5,000 grants to 256 independent restaurants and commercial caterers). Separately, Restaurants Care also operates a parallel emergency assistance program that provides up to $2,500 directly to individual food and beverage workers facing illness, injury, natural disaster, or death in the immediate family.
