Comcast NBCUniversal Offers $10 Million in Aid for Los Angeles Wildfire Recovery Efforts
Comcast NBCUniversal Steps Up to Support Los Angeles Wildfire Relief Efforts
Comcast NBCUniversal, a leading media and technology company, has pledged a significant $10 million for the disaster relief and recovery efforts in the Los Angeles area affected by the wildfires.
At the heart of this commitment is a cornerstone donation of $2.5 million to Habitat For Humanity Inland Valley, aimed at supporting the rebuilding efforts in Los Angeles following the devastating wildfires. This contribution will help families in need to rebuild their homes and lives[1].
Comcast chairman and CEO Brian Roberts expressed his sympathy for those affected by the fires, appreciation for first responders, and readiness to support the community during recovery and rebuilding. He also emphasised the company's commitment to helping employees affected by the wildfires[2].
To this end, Comcast is providing emergency financial funds to employees directly affected by the wildfires. The Comcast NBCUniversal Employee Disaster Assistance Fund is also providing grants to team members in need[3]. Additionally, the company is offering health and welfare benefits to employees affected by the wildfires[4].
Moreover, Comcast is making a special company double match for employee donations to the Employee Disaster Assistance Fund[5]. Employees can also access temporary housing and hotels at discounted rates[6]. These donations are made through the Comcast NBCUniversal Matching Gift Program.
Comcast's news teams, including NBC4 and KVEA, are providing vital coverage during the wildfire crisis[7]. Contributions will be made to various organizations providing short and long-term assistance, including the American Red Cross, Entertainment Industry Foundation SoCal Fire Fund, Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, and the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles[8].
However, no further information about additional organizations receiving donations was provided in the search results.
As the wildfire crisis continues, Comcast NBCUniversal remains committed to supporting the Los Angeles community. Their efforts underscore the company's dedication to helping those in need and contributing to the recovery and rebuilding efforts in the Los Angeles area.
