2025 LA Wildfires
Thanks to donors and matching funds from AARP, AARP Foundation distributed more than $1.5 million in emergency grants to help seniors in need.
When wildfires broke out across the Los Angeles area in January, AARP Foundation provided support to the hardest-hit communities and families through grants to local organizations.
Many of those affected by the fires were seniors — about 21% in the Eaton Fire zone and 26% in the Palisades Fire zone are adults age 65 and over.
Disaster relief grants funded through our donors provided immediate and longer-term support to help affected older adults repair their homes, access legal advocacy, and obtain financial support.
All told, AARP Foundation deployed $1.5 million in grants to organizations to support the recovery of thousands of older adults and their families.
