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 raised an estimated $100 million that have been designated for direct relief and will not be used for administrative purposes.

In this second phase, FireAid is shifting focus toward long-term recovery and restoring stability, connection and well-being across entire communities. The new $25 million in grants supports initiatives around financial and housing stability, mental health and trauma services for families and individuals, and community infrastructure. Additional funding will also go toward environmental remediation, soil testing, permitting support, and sustainable rebuilding efforts, while educational support helps students regain a sense of normalcy. Aid for small business and displaced workers strengthens the local economy and supports overall recovery efforts.

The final phase of grants will be coming by year end. Please share your thoughts on where help is still needed by emailing us at donations@fireaidla.org or apply for a Round 3 grant.
