A House report alleges FireAid diverted $100M from wildfire victims to politics, podcasts, and salaries, delaying relief.
A House Judiciary Committee report alleges that FireAid, which raised $100 million after the 2025 California wildfires, diverted much of the funds from direct victim relief to unrelated causes, including political advocacy, podcasting, undocumented immigrant support, and staff salaries.
The report, requested by Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA), claims $250,000 went to CORE for undocumented migrants, $100,000 to podcasters, and over $500,000 to political and social justice organizations, while more than $500,000 covered administrative costs.
Though FireAid stated funds were intended for broader relief efforts, victims report delayed aid, with less than 4% having started rebuilding nearly a year later.
The committee criticized grant use by several nonprofits for labor and non-relief expenses, but provided no evidence of widespread mismanagement.
