On Monday, law firm Latham and Watkins released its investigative report into the concert concluding that: "we have not identified evidence of any...improper use or misappropriation of funds, fraudulent intent, or deviation from FireAid's stated mission."
The report makes it clear that FireAid organizers never intended to send money raised during this concert directly to survivors, but instead it would go to organizations helping those survivors -- organizations like "Door of Hope," which received $100,000 in FireAid funds.
You can see every organization receiving money and how much they received in the FireAid Progress Report here, as well as the Letham and Watkins report.
Some of that money is helping Michael Towns rebuild his music teaching business and pay for his apartment rent after his home burned down to the ground in Altadena.
7 On Your Side Investigates met Michael several months ago as we tracked where FireAid money has been spent.
"I think is a lot of people think that there are no more resources at all and that everything is dry and there's no more help for anybody and I'm here to say that that's not true," Towns said.
Back in July, 7 On Your Side Investigates found that several of the organizations receiving money did use some of the cash for administrative costs, which is against the rules of receiving this money.
FireAid says it is working with those organization to correct that by the end of the year. An audit will be conducted at year's end, once all $100 million has been distributed, and the results will be made public.
FireAid will distribute its remaining $25 million in grants by year-end 2025, with a focus on housing, trauma recovery, rebuilding community spaces, and long-term fire prevention.
