FireAid distributes first $50 million to L.A. wildfire relief groups
The initial disbursements of funds, totaling approximately $100 million collected during the FireAid benefit concert in January, have been announced by the event organizers.
In my humble opinion as a movie reviewer, I’d like to highlight that the initial $50 million, disbursed yesterday, prioritizes grassroots organizations at the heart of wildfire relief efforts. These chosen entities possess the necessary infrastructure, expertise, and connections to swiftly and fairly distribute aid to those affected by the fires.
Music
To date, FireAid has amassed approximately $100 million, while MusiCares and the Grammys have raised more than $24 million – a sum that includes revenue generated from their award show broadcasts and various charitable events.
Priority will be given to emergency assistance programs that cater to the needs of displaced residents, employees, small business owners, and first responders. This aid encompasses food supplies, childcare facilities, health services, housing and rent support, as well as legal guidance to help access government benefits.
By the last day of February, we anticipate that this portion of funds will be completely disbursed. Later in the year, there will be another funding round concentrating on redevelopment and fire resistance initiatives.
Music
The FireAid benefit concert, held on January 30 at both the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum in Inglewood, will continue to be available across various streaming platforms.
The details about all the local charities that have received the first round of funding are available here. However, other local groups still have an opportunity to apply for smaller individual grants, which can range from $10,000 to $50,000.
The FireAid concert held in January boasted an impressive lineup with stars like Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, Green Day, and Joni Mitchell performing at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum. This event attracted a massive audience of 50 million viewers across 28 different streaming platforms. Many of these platforms will keep the concert available for streaming throughout the rest of the year.
