We've decided to donate 100% of our Winter Season 2025 to The Southern Caligornia Wildfire Relief Fund and Pasadena Umane. The following article includes all you need to know regarding this initiative.
Why?
"This season is special, as we celebrate your excellence as filmmakers while supporting California in its recovery efforts. Together, we’re uniting as a community to help a place that has given us some of our favorite movies and shows. For many of us, California is not just a hub of creativity; it’s a place where many of us live or have lived, filled with cherished memories and vibrant communities. California is more than just a celebrity destination. It’s a home to families, animals, and businesses, many of whom are now facing immense challenges. They need our support, and every contribution matters. Your generosity means the world to us.
Thank you for standing with us and making a difference!"

The Southern California Wildfire Relief Fund
All donations to this fund will support wildfire relief and recovery efforts in California. Initially, the fund helps first responders meet survivors' immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, medicine, and shelter. As needs emerge, we will support longer-term recovery efforts run by local, vetted organizations in the impacted areas, particularly those working with low-income, historically underserved communities. This fund will remain open throughout 2025 to remain responsive to new fires.
How Your Donation Will Be Used
When you donate to GlobalGiving's California Wildfire Relief Fund, your donation will be used to:
Provide food and emergency medical supplies to people and animals
Support temporary shelter and emergency supplies to displaced families
Provide support to front-line workers, such as meals and gas
Fund long-term recovery needs
Meet other needs as they emerge
Pasadena Umane
Pasadena Humane was founded in 1903 by a local Methodist group as “The Pasadena Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and Dumb Animals.” Like many turn-of-the-century humane societies, Pasadena Humane worked to ensure the humane treatment of draft animals, as well as rescuing and rehoming orphaned and abused children. Companion animals gradually replaced working animals as Pasadena Humane’s main focus, as working horses were retired in favor of modern machines.
Over the last decade, Pasadena Humane has adopted progressive sheltering practices focused on increasing adoptions, providing outstanding care, and helping to keep animals in the home through shelter prevention programs
