FireAid Has Raised More Than $100 Million So Far for L.A. Fire Relief Efforts

With fundraising still ongoing, proceeds raised from the FireAid benefit concert are expected to have raised well over $100 million.

FireAid brought in more than 50 million viewers across 28 streaming platforms with performances from Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Joni Mitchell, Dave Grohl and more on Jan. 30. These artists played short sets of one to three songs at two venues, Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum, simultaneously.

The funds raised came from ticket sales for both venues, sponsorships, merchandise sales and donations from the public including from the Azoff family, the Eagles, Andrew Hauptman and Ellen Bronfman Hauptman and U2. Steve and Connie Ballmer also matched every pledge made during the broadcast and VOD viewing of FireAid while Live Nation served as the production partner.
