FireAid将1亿美金从野火受害者转移至政治、播客、工资、延缓救济。
A House report alleges FireAid diverted $100M from wildfire victims to politics, podcasts, and salaries, delaying relief.
一份众议院司法委员会的报告指称,FireAid在2025年加利福尼亚州野火后筹集了1亿美元,将大部分资金从直接受害者救济转而用于无关的原因,包括政治宣传、播客、无证移民支助和工作人员薪金。
A House Judiciary Committee report alleges that FireAid, which raised $100 million after the 2025 California wildfires, diverted much of the funds from direct victim relief to unrelated causes, including political advocacy, podcasting, undocumented immigrant support, and staff salaries.
该报告是Kevin Kiley(R-CA)要求的,索赔250 000美元,用于无证移民,10万美元用于播客,50万多美元用于政治和社会正义组织,50多万美元用于行政费用。
The report, requested by Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA), claims $250,000 went to CORE for undocumented migrants, $100,000 to podcasters, and over $500,000 to political and social justice organizations, while more than $500,000 covered administrative costs.
尽管FireAid声称资金用于更广泛的救济工作,但受害者报告援助延迟,不到4%的人在将近一年后开始重建。
Though FireAid stated funds were intended for broader relief efforts, victims report delayed aid, with less than 4% having started rebuilding nearly a year later.
该委员会批评若干非营利组织使用赠款支付劳工和非救济费用,但没有提供普遍管理不善的证据。
The committee criticized grant use by several nonprofits for labor and non-relief expenses, but provided no evidence of widespread mismanagement.
