About
The 2025 Los Angeles No Kid Hungry Dinner was a night of inspiration and generosity – raising over $800,000 – to ensure that kids and families affected by the LA wildfires have dependable access to food and the support they need to recover and thrive. Thank you for sharing your strength with us and supporting our LA Wildfire Response Fund. Together, we’re making a difference that will last a lifetime.

***Please note that the IRS prohibits the use of Donor Advised Funds or an IRA QCD where more than an incidental benefit is received by the donor in return (e.g. event table/tickets, purchase of auction items). This prohibition applies regardless of whether the donor pays separately for the benefits received (i.e. the “non-deductible” amount). All table/ticket and auction purchases, therefore, must be funded personally outside of a Donor Advised Fund or IRA Gift. For further guidance, please consult your Donor Advised Fund advisor or your IRA Account administrator.
