Leonardo DiCaprio pledged to donate $1 million with his nature conservation organization Re:wild to support the post-fire recovery efforts in his hometown of Los Angeles.
“The Los Angeles wildfires are devastating our city,” the Academy Award-winner wrote in a post to his Instagram story Wednesday. “I am committing $1 million in partnership with @rewild’s Rapid Response Program to support both urgent needs and post-fire recovery efforts. Initial aid will immediately benefit the LA Fire Department Foundation, California Fire Foundation, World Central Kitchen, California Community Foundation, Pasadena Humane Society and SoCal Fire Fund – organizations providing much-needed resources to our first responders and firefighters, and the people, animals and communities who need it most.”
