A charity that was intended to raise money for victims of the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires has instead funneled funds to “voter participation efforts for Native Americans, illegal aliens, podcast shows, fungus planting, and the salaries and bonuses for those working at non-profits and other organizations,” a report from the House Judiciary Committee says.

While the report was issued in January, it’s going viral now after a clip from a California GOP representative criticizing FireAid made the rounds on social media — and as Democrats fight for their electoral lives in both the gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral elections.

FireAid, a multi-venue benefit that took place in 2025, included artists like Rod Stewart,Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, Sting, and Stevie Wonder, among others.

After the concerts at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum, the organizationclaimedit “raised an estimated $100 million that have [sic] been designated for direct relief and will not be used for administrative purposes.”

As always, when it comes to liberal largesse combined with typos (see also: “Quality Learing Center“), this didn’t work out quite as planned.

According to the Judiciary Committee’sreport, FireAid told the media that it actually “does not have the capability to make direct payments to individuals and that was never the plan. We partnered with trusted local non-profits … to reach communities in need.”

After this, the Judiciary Committee decided to look into the millions raised by the benefit concert — and while the report said that “more information is still needed to understand the full story,” even part of the story is bad enough.

“Although the internal review, requested and paid for by FireAid, found that ‘grants were disbursed consistent with FireAid’s stated mission,’ documents provided to the Committee suggest that donations were funneled to some recipients with little or no nexus to assisting fire victims,” the report stated.

“The documents show that FireAid funded voter participation efforts for Native Americans, illegal aliens, podcast shows, fungus planting, and the salaries and bonuses for those working at non-profits and other organizations.”

For instance, there’s the $100,000 to the CA Native Vote Project, which says it’s “the first-of-its-kind statewide effort to engage Native American communities across dozens of counties to build political power through an integrated voter engagement strategy.”
