FireAid Allocates First $50 Million in Grants for Wildfire Relief

The initial funds from January's benefit concerts will support immediate needs for displaced residents, workers, and community organizations impacted by devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

FireAid raised over $100 million through two benefit concerts and streaming platforms, with $50 million now distributed in phase one grants.
Grants prioritize immediate relief efforts, including housing support, food assistance, childcare, healthcare, and legal aid for wildfire survivors.
Recipients include community-based organizations with expertise in disaster recovery, as well as individuals, displaced workers, and small businesses in affected areas.
Phase two will allocate the remaining $50 million toward long-term recovery, rebuilding efforts, and addressing environmental challenges.
The January 30 concerts featured performances by over 30 artists, including Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and a reunited Nirvana, drawing 50 million viewers globally.
