Resilient Palisades was founded in 2019 by a small group of neighbors who believed local action could drive global change. 

​

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built around practical, community led solutions. Volunteers are at the center of everything we do. Our teams give people a place to turn ideas into action, whether that means restoring native habitat, advancing clean energy, reducing waste, protecting our environment or creating entirely new ways to meet a community need.

​

We believe communities are strongest when the people who live there have the support and resources to help shape their own future.

​

The Palisades Fire has given us knowledge we never expected, and never wanted, to have. As we rebuild, we are documenting what works, what does not, where systems fall short and what we wish we had known from the beginning.

​

We want to share those lessons.

​

Our goal is for the work happening in Pacific Palisades to become a replicable model that other communities can learn from and adapt to their own needs. From wildfire recovery and rebuilding to environmental restoration and community resilience, we want the solutions developed here to travel far beyond our neighborhood.

​

No community facing a similar disaster should have to figure everything out from scratch. If sharing what we learn can make another community’s path a little clearer, faster or easier, that is part of our responsibility too.

​

Our work starts locally, but our vision has always been bigger than one community.
