Charity Program
Together, We’re Rebuilding Malibu Stronger Than Ever
The Malibu Community Relief Fund was created by Malibu Moves to support our community in the wake of the devastating fires that have impacted Malibu and the surrounding areas. All funds raised through Malibu Moves 2025 will go directly toward aiding relief efforts, supporting rebuilding initiatives, and helping those affected recover and thrive.
To ensure these donations are used as effectively as possible, we are working closely with the City of Malibu to identify meaningful organizations and projects that align with the community's most pressing needs. Our goal is to raise significant funds and allow the City to guide its allocation, ensuring maximum impact for those who need it most.
Every dollar makes a difference. Whether you’re signing up for the race, making a direct donation, or sharing this cause with your network, your support contributes to the recovery and resilience of our beloved community.
The fiscal entity is Move Together Association (tax ID #99-3051234), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working in partnership with local officials to support those directly impacted by the Palisades Fire.
