FireAid will be announcing and dispersing the remaining funds of the $100m raised from the benefit concert in December 2025. In order to meet this deadline and ensure that dollars reach the community, FireAid will stop accepting new applications for its Round 3 grants on November 1, 2025.
In January 2025, Los Angeles endured a series of horrific fires that tore holes across our city’s colorful fabric. An outpouring of love and support was channeled into ongoing relief efforts, including the FireAid benefit concert, a worldwide event made possible by dozens of sponsors, streamers, and headliners, as well as millions of viewers, donors, and fans. Together, we donated $109 million, including $99M in cash donations and $10.3 of in-kind donations, that have been designated for direct relief and will not be used for administrative purposes.
