Support Those Affected by the 2025 California Wildfires
The wildfires raging across California have taken a devastating toll on communities, wildlife, and the environment. While the fires are still active, numerous organizations are working tirelessly on the ground to aid firefighters, first responders, impacted individuals, families, and wildlife. These organizations urgently need monetary donations to provide the necessary support and relief.

Employees who wish to contribute to the fire relief efforts may make donations through the ETS Cares giving portal or directly to nonprofits. ETS helps you maximize the impact of your donation by covering all fees associated with donations made in the giving portal.

The Importance of Ongoing Support
While donations often pour in immediately after a disaster, the need for support continues long after the news coverage ends. Consider making a recurring monetary donation to this relief fund or to an organization that you care about. Your sustained support can make a significant difference in the recovery and rebuilding process.
Be Cautious of Scams
As always, it is crucial to do your due diligence when making a donation to support areas hit by natural disasters. Beware of scammers who create fake charities during such times. Always verify a charity’s legitimacy through its official website or independent online sources, such as Charity Navigator and GuideStar.
