Corporate Generosity: Comcast NBCUniversal’s $10M Effort to Rebuild LA
Comcast NBCUniversal makes ten million dollar donation in response to Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts to rebuild LA.
Comcast NBCUniversal, the parent company that operates Universal Orlando Resort, will provide $2.5 million as an inaugural corporate partner to the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles’ ReBUILD LA initiative to assist local communities and families with rebuilding. Contributions will also be made to organizations working on the ground to provide short and long-term assistance, including the American Red Cross, Entertainment Industry Foundation SoCal Fire Fund, Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, and YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles.
Comcast Efforts to Rebuild LA
“Our hearts go out to all who have been impacted by these devastating fires, including many in our Comcast NBCUniversal family,” said Brian L. Roberts, chairman and CEO of Comcast Corporation. “We extend our deep appreciation to the first responders for their tireless and courageous efforts and to our news teams, including NBC4 and KVEA, who are providing vital coverage during this time. We stand ready to support our employees and the broader Los Angeles community as we recover and rebuild from these tragic events.”
Comcast NBCUniversal will also provide emergency financial funds and health and welfare benefits, including access to temporary housing and hotels at discounted rates, to employees affected by the destruction of the wildfires. Through the Comcast NBCUniversal Employee Disaster Assistance Fund, the company is providing grants to team members in need and making a unique company double match for employee donations made to the fund through the Comcast NBCUniversal Matching Gift Program.
Comcast NBCUniversal joined with other major corporations, such as Paramount and Disney, committing funds to help with wildfire relief. Like those companies, they thanked the hard-working staff covering the fire for news outlets.
