Beyonce Donates $2.5 Million to LA Fire Relief Earmarked for Altadena-Pasadena, First Music Star to Pony Up

Beyonce is the first music star to donate to the Los Angeles wildlife relief.

Through her Beygood Foundation, Beyonce says she’s sending $2.5 million to the LA Fire Relief Fund. That’s $1 million more than the total Beygood donated to causes in 2022.

The money is earmarked for the areas of Altadena and Pasadena. It is not for the much harder hit Pacific Palisades.

According to the organization’s Form 990 for 2022, Beygood had $43 million in assets after a single contribution, most likely from Beyonce herself and/or Jay Z. It gave away $1.5 million to a few groups, mostly in Houston.

Beyonce is up for several Grammy awards next month for her “Cowboy Carter” album.
