As the horrific wildfires continue to burn in Los Angeles, our thoughts are with everyone in our community and beyond who is affected by this disaster.
To help, our employees and the firm itself are contributing to the following organizations that are delivering critical aid to those who are suffering in the region:
World Central Kitchen: (emergency food assistance): The Palisades, Hurst, and Eaton wildfires have forced approximately 30,000 residents to evacuate from areas like Pacific Palisades. World Central Kitchen is partnering with food trucks and local restaurants to make and distribute emergency food supplies to families who have evacuated.
Direct Relief Wildfire Response Fund (medical relief for vulnerable groups): As a California-based disaster relief organization, Direct Relief has responded to wildfires in California for decades. During fire responses, Direct Relief provides N-95 masks, medicine, and other resources to healthcare agencies and first responders in wildfire-affected communities. All donations to Direct Relief’s wildfire response fund will directly support efforts to assist individuals impacted by fires in the Palisades, Altadena, and across California, providing critical aid where it’s needed most.
Center for Disaster Philanthropy: California Wildfire Recovery Fund (medium- to long-term recovery): The fund supports communities across the state as they work to rebuild and recover from wildfires. CDP awards grants to nonprofits and community groups throughout California to help vulnerable families and communities recover. They work directly with nonprofits and in-state partners, such as the Governor’s Office of Emergency Service (Cal OES), to identify specific needs and gaps in funding with an eye to long-term rebuilding and recovery.
Additionally, our partners at GoFundMe have organized the Wildfire Relief Fund 2025 "supporting relief and recovery efforts related to the wildfires burning in LA County by sending emergency relief grants of $1,000 each to individuals who have lost homes, loved ones, and property due to the Palisades, Eaton and Hurst fires." https://lnkd.in/gFZQsqVd
