The FireAid benefit concert, held in January, raised an estimated $100 million to support wildfire relief efforts. Recently, organizers announced the distribution of the first $50 million in grants, which will prioritize community-based organizations that have the necessary infrastructure and experience to effectively deliver aid to those impacted by wildfires. This funding aims to provide immediate recovery services such as food, healthcare, housing relief, and legal assistance. A second round of funding will focus on rebuilding and enhancing fire resiliency later in the year. Smaller individual grants are also available for local organizations.
The selected organizations have the infrastructure, experience, and relationships necessary to efficiently and equitably deliver assistance to fire-impacted individuals.
The full list of local organizations receiving the initial grant money is documented here. Local groups can still apply for smaller individual grants, ranging from $10,000 to $50,000.
