How To, Nonprofit Strategy, Product Updates

Wildfires in California are dealing a devasting blow, leaving in its wake tragic loss of life, the destruction of cities and neighborhoods including 6,000+ homes and businesses and incredible devastation of our beautiful countryside and its inhabitants. With very little containment in sight, those responding to provide protection, relief, and resources are in need of our help. We are grateful to all the first responders who are tirelessly helping those in need!
Here are a few ways that you can join us in supporting those impacted:

STEP 1: Make a Donation

Pick a charity, or set up a fund with multiple charities: Your company can raise money for any registered 501(c) nonprofit organization in good standing. You can support one or multiple organizations by creating a fund to raise donations for the causes that matter most to you, your employees and customers.

As an LA-based company, we’re doing all we can to support our local communities affected by the fires through our Southern California Fire Relief Fund. Every donation made will be split evenly between the Los Angeles American Red Cross and Direct Relief to provide critical supplies & services to the First Responders and those affected by the current fires in Southern California.
