LA Wildfire Relief Raffle

2025

Allies in Arts hosted a mystery drawing raffle to support artists displaced by the Eaton and Palisades fires, collaborating with artists like Patty Harrison, Anna Konkle and Parveen Kaur to raise funds for women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ artists displaced by the 2025 LA Wildfires.

Donations were administered by Grief & Hope, a volunteer-run fundraising and mutual aid effort supporting artists and art workers affected by the LA fires.

Our Wildfire Relief Efforts

So many artists have been displaced by the LA wildfires, losing both their homes and their workplaces/businesses at once. As a Los Angeles based organization, we are deeply impacted by the Eaton and Palisades wildfires. We had to evacuate, many of our friends and families have lost everything, and our communities are hurting.

There are many organizations providing critical resources for those impacted by the LA wildfires. We’ve compiled some amazing initiatives below, and we are working to identify the gaps in what is being offered and fill them with the help of our community. As we sort through the rubble, we realize this relief effort will be a marathon, not a sprint. While others are focusing on food and water, we will put our energy in our area of expertise: Supporting underrepresented artists so that we can work through this trauma, both to emotionally process and to earn a living to support ourselves and our families.

We appreciate your care, your concern and your collaboration as we move forward through what will surely be a long and very challenging recovery ahead.
