Celebrities Raised Millions for LA Fire Aid. Much of the Money Went to Programs for Illegal Aliens and Nonprofits That Only Assist 'Black and Brown Communities.'
 [Free Beacon] The cash is burning, too.Millions of dollars raised to help victims of the 2025 California wildfires have ended up in the coffers of unrelated nonprofits pushing a variety of progressive causes, a Washington Free Beacon review found. Some of the groups that have received funds explicitly exclude white people from their services, while others advertise programs for illegal aliens. FireAid, a celebrity-studded fundraising organization that raked in about $100 million for wildfire relief efforts, has distributed money to more than 160 California nonprofits. Its flagship event on Jan. 30, produced by the Annenberg Foundation, featured performers like Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Dr. Dre, Stevie Wonder, and Sting, among others. FireAid announced in February that it would distribute the money it raised "equitably," a promise it appears to have kept. Greenline Housing Foundation, for instance, received funds from a $4.8 million pool dedicated to health and housing. It noted on its website that no whites need apply. "In order to qualify for a grant through Greenline Housing Foundation, applicants must be a Black or Hispanic person," the group stated. Greenline told the Free Beacon that "anyone is welcome to apply for and receive" its fire-specific programs. But the wildfire section of its website clarifies that the organization "will focus [its] efforts on helping Black and Hispanic communities." Posted by: Besoeker 2025-08-26 |
