Support Big Sur

The Coast Property Owners Association (CPOA) is an all volunteer nonprofit Big Sur community organization whose mission is to protect and defend the rural and residential character of Big Sur, and to preserve the natural and aesthetic beauty of the Big Sur coast; to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of the Big Sur Community; to encourage community service and otherwise act in the interests of the residents and property owners of the community.

In response to one of the largest wild fires ever to impact the Big Sur coast, the CPOA board initiated the CPOA Big Sur Fire Relief Fund.

Here's how you can help.

Our initial relief program has served over 500 impacted community members in the form of emergency grants. Because CPOA's board members live in Big Sur, and have been personally impacted by this wildfire, we were able to begin targeted relief efforts for those displaced and most in need within days of the fire.

The Big Sur community and it's bioregion have been challenged and are in need of a sensitive, intelligent and costly restoration and repair initiative. CPOA believes it is important that the community have a strong voice in this process. Your donations will enable that voice. We are coordinating with many of the local businesses, local, state and federal aid organizations, and the Big Sur Land Trust David Whitney Legacy Fund.

Big Sur's CPOA is a non-profit 501c3 organization. Federal Tax EIN # 77-0091132

Thank you for your support!
