Rebuild & Restore: Supporting Local Business After the Fires

Supporting Local Businesses Affected by the Palisades Fires

We are the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce, a trusted advocate and resource for businesses in Santa Monica, Malibu, and the Palisades. For decades, we have worked tirelessly to support our local economy, empower entrepreneurs, and foster a thriving, connected business community.

Why We Are Raising Funds

The recent Palisades Fires have devastated our community, leaving many businesses struggling to recover. From destroyed workspaces to lost inventory and displaced employees, the impact has been severe. Small businesses—the backbone of our local economy—have been particularly hard hit. Without immediate support, many of these businesses face the risk of permanent closure.

That’s why we’ve launched this GoFundMe campaign: to help businesses in our community rebuild and recover. Funds raised will directly assist businesses in:

• Office Supplies and Equipment: Replacing essential tools and resources lost in the fires.

• Temporary Workspace Solutions: Providing access to coworking spaces or rental assistance for damaged locations.

• Critical Business Needs: Addressing individual recovery needs to help businesses reopen their doors.

Why Your Support Matters

By contributing to this campaign, you are directly supporting the resilience of local businesses. Your generosity will:

• Protect Jobs: Keeping businesses afloat means protecting the livelihoods of countless workers in our community.

• Preserve Economic Vitality: A strong local economy benefits everyone—from residents to neighboring businesses.

• Rebuild Community Connections: Our businesses are more than storefronts; they are hubs for relationships, creativity, and culture.

Together, we can ensure that our vibrant business community not only survives but thrives in the aftermath of this disaster. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. Thank you for standing with us and for being part of the recovery and renewal of Santa Monica, Malibu, and the Palisades.
