In response to the disaster, more than 135,000 individuals have registered for FEMA assistance, highlighting the scale of the crisis.

The funds raised stemmed from ticket sales, sponsorships, merchandise sales, and public donations, including significant contributions from the Azoff family and U2.

The wildfires, which began on January 7, 2025, have had a devastating impact, burning 57,660 acres, destroying over 16,000 structures, and resulting in 29 fatalities.

FireAid has launched a significant wildfire relief initiative in Los Angeles, allocating $50 million in phase-one grants after raising over $100 million through a series of benefit concerts.

The operational costs for the six-hour performance were covered by the LA Clippers and their owner, Steve Ballmer, who also matched donations made during the event.

The initial $50 million in grants is allocated across ten categories, including disaster relief, food security, health and housing, and support for vulnerable populations.

Notably, the Eagles contributed $2.5 million to FireAid ahead of the concerts, underscoring the music community's commitment to supporting wildfire victims.

These funds will address immediate recovery needs in Los Angeles while also supporting future fire prevention initiatives.

Funding will prioritize essential services such as food assistance, childcare, healthcare, housing support, and legal resources for victims of the wildfires.

The concert series, organized by Live Nation, AEG, and the Azoff Company, featured more than 30 artists and attracted 50 million viewers across 28 streaming platforms.

FireAid's funding strategy was informed by consultations with experts from previous disaster relief efforts, ensuring a thoughtful distribution of resources.

The initial funding distribution began on February 18, 2025, with plans for a second round of grants later in the year focused on rebuilding and long-term recovery.
