FireAid was a benefit concert on January 30, 2025 for victims of the Palisades and Altadena fires in Los Angeles that raised $100 million in donations. Donors were promised that their money would be sent directly to people affected by the wildfires. However, $75 million of the $100 million that was collected has gone to nonprofits, while only $25 million is left.

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) have demanded that FireAid produce a detailed breakdown of where donations to benefit the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires have gone and that the remaining $25 million out of $100 million donated to the organization be sent directly to LA fire victims.

.Fox News reported that $75 million in Fire Aid donations went to 188 non-profit organizations (NPOs) with grants up to $500,000 each. A number of the recipient NPOs, including the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund and Vision y Compromiso, are not related to the California fires. $6.5 million in donations went into LA County programs. Two groups received money for which they did not even apply. The Annenberg Foundation helped organize the concert, but claimed only an advisory role in how to distribute it. A FireAid advisory committee and board in charge of disbursement wants to remain anonymous.

Steve and Connie Ballmer, billionaires worth $130 billion, promised to match FireAid donations; James Li analyzed a list of non-profits that the couple had already worked with and then compared it to the non-profit organizations that received FireAid money. He found that there was a 'bunch' of overlap of the groups suggesting that organizers of this event used the charity money as an opportunity to bolster 'community groups' favored by these elite donors rather than giving the money directly to fire victims. Li said that it appears that because the Ballmer organization covered itself with legal language, it seems there is no fraud, "what's going on here is that this is just one, you know, one big club of rich people pretending to care about a disaster so that they can find ways to transfer that hard-earned money from regular people, people who wanted to support this concert, support these people, the victims, and they're taking that money to fund the pet projects of their friends and family."
