Absolutely nothing, zippo, nada. Only nonprofits, you know the smarmy leftist sites that push ideology, received the money. I am exaggerating. They aren’t all bad. Some really help, but adding a third party dilutes the funds. Something is wrong when no victims receive funds. Annenberg is far-left so I wonder about their oversight.
The fires in the Palisades and Eaton fires were devastating. Thousands of homes and businesses were destroyed. For many, this was the culmination of their life’s work. Thirty people were killed.
Caring people wanted to help.
According to Circling the News, Two FireAid concerts with live streams were held at the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum on January 30 in Los Angeles. An A-list of performers donated their time to raise money for fire victims.
More than $100 million came through donations. This editor reached out to the Annenberg Foundation, which was tasked with distributing funds, in April to find out how fire victims could receive direct financial help.
The answer was the money was intended for nonprofits, no individual could receive money even though it was intended for fire victims.
Fire victims lost everything, but not a single dollar from the $100 MILLION raised ever reached them. California Democrats funneled it to nonprofits instead. This is what corruption looks like. Thank you @FOXLA, @MarlaTellez, and Sue Pascoe for exposing it.

When are these thieves going to go to jail??? Aholes like Gap-Tooth Stacey (Abrams) connived $2 billion from the taxpayers and is still walking around free. And what about the thieving scum in BLM?? Where’s the justice?
How jewish were the people who robbed the innocent victims?
how nazi are the idiots who are asking questions like this?
…and the charade continues…Give directly to the affected, chose one if necessary, what you can afford…bypass the ‘professionals’ that pay their ‘executives six figure salaries…
I didn’t give them a penny because I knew this would happen. Same thing that happened to Farm Aid. And what was the one before that when they sang “We are the World.” That was total fraud as well. And they won’t give them any building permits either. Just stealing their land. I predicted this as well.
This is why donors should give only to reputable organizations (i.e. Samaritan’s Purse, transparent charities, and directly to the actual people affected.
This should be investigated and people prosecuted for fraud. There will be a money trail left behind.
And, there is no reason on earth that pro immigration groups should receive funds over the actual victims.
If this was actively prosecuted they wouldn’t be so apt to try it again.
Surprised that after all we know in all the years about these “concerts” that we’re aghast over the grifting. It should have that word in the title. “FIRE-AIDE grifting fund…please give what you can now for the grifters pockets.”
