In the wake of the devastating LA wildfires, hundreds of women entrepreneurs stepped forward with stories of strength, resilience, and hope.

50 incredible women-owned businesses have been awarded grants to help them rebuild and thrive. They represent the heart of their communities—from beloved neighborhood restaurants and childcare centers to fitness studios, florists, and family-run shops. Each one has shown extraordinary perseverance and potential.

We are proud to celebrate and support these inspiring leaders as they restore what was lost and build for the future. Scroll down to meet the women behind the businesses!

This grant program was funded by Paris Hilton’s nonprofit 11:11 Media Impact and GoFundMe.org, in partnership with the Pasadena Women’s Business Center.
