We help families who lost their homes in the wildfires rebuild when insurance and rising costs make it out of reach.
Lotus Rising LA is a local nonprofit led by people who know this city and care about the families who built their lives here. We bring practical help, trusted partners, and a commitment to making sure they are not left behind.
If you want to help rebuild homes and futures, there is a place for you here. Donate or get involved here.

thousands of families are still without permanent housing after the 2025 LA wildfires
Some are living in cars or RVs. Others are couch-hopping or paying rent they can't afford while they wait for answers that haven't come.
Lotus Rising LA is a grassroots nonprofit started by community members who saw the gap and decided to fill it. No big grants nor huge corporate backing, just neighbors showing up for neighbors.
We help with the part no one talks about: educating families on their housing options, supporting the community through events, and making sure survivors have a place to tell their story.
Every dollar goes directly to families rebuilding their lives.

What’s new!
We have some exciting rides coming up for both the Altadena and Palisades communities!
First up, the inaugural Golden Poppy Bike Ride on Sunday, May 31, a free, all-ages community ride, in partnership with Altadena Heritage and the newest addition to the Altadena Town Trail series.
Then on August 23, we're heading to the Palisades for our first ever community bike ride through Pacific Palisades.
Leading both rides is our Lotus bike lead and Word Nerd, Amanda Walgrove, who has been pedaling alongside this community since day one.
Joining her in Altadena is Dot Wong, founder of the Altadena Bicycle Club and a cyclist, instructor, and advocate who knows these streets better than just about anyone.
Representing the Palisades is Chris Russo, a fire survivor, documentary filmmaker, and advocate fighting for her community's return.
For the Golden Poppy Bike Ride, RSVP and sign your waiver at LotusRisingLA.org/GPBR. Stay tuned for RSVP details on the Palisades ride.
Interested in sponsoring either ride? We're looking for monetary and in-kind support for both events. Contact partnerships@LotusRisingLA.org.
