2025 Forward Giving Focus

Our 2025 Commitment: Supporting Los Angeles Fire Relief and Recovery

The devastation caused by the LA Fires has reshaped our mission for 2025. Recognizing the long-term impact on individuals, families, and communities, we dedicate this year to ongoing relief and recovery efforts. Forward Giving will continue working with trusted organizations, providing essential resources, and ensuring that those affected (specifically people ages 5 to 26) receive the support they need to rebuild and recover.

In January, Forward Giving sprung into action with a drive to support fire relief and recovery. We collected essential items for organizations on the ground, ensuring that aid reached those in urgent need. The incredible response allowed us to support vital organizations, including the Venice Family Clinic Southbay, Westchester Family YMCA, Altadena Girls, Salvation Army, Carson Animal Care Center, and Santa Monica College Foundation.
