Paris Hilton is raising $1M to give grants to women who lost their businesses due to natural disasters
Paris Hilton just announced the Back in Business Recovery Fund, a collaboration between her social impact organization, 11:11 Media Impact, and GoFundMe’s nonprofit arm to raise and deploy over $1 million to women-owned small businesses rebuilding after natural disasters.
Hilton will back the fundraiser as the lead investor, contributing $350,000 through 11:11 Media Impact, and GoFundMe.org will also contribute an additional $100,000, all with the goal of providing direct, flexible “recovery capital” to women who own small businesses and have been impacted by future disasters.
The fund is built on a proven model, which Hilton and her impact partners coordinated after the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. At that time, they gave over $1 million in cash grants to 50 women-owned small businesses.
Why is this good news?Hilton said it best: “When women are funded, they outperform, so I am proud to help women-owned small businesses across the country rebuild, thrive, and continue leading in their communities.”
Olivia Rodrigo wins Amplifier Award for championing reproductive justice and girls' education
At the “Music Is Universal” event, Olivia Rodrigo received the Universal Music Group x REVERB Amplifier Award, which celebrates artists for their activism beyond music.
Central to her impact is Fund 4 Good, launched during her Guts World Tour, which donated a portion of ticket sales to nonprofits that champion reproductive health freedom, girls’ education, and gender‑based violence prevention globally.
Rodrigo said the honor underscores her belief that artists can be a force for lasting impact beyond entertainment, with music serving as a tool for connection and activism. Previous winners include Billie Eilish and boygenius members Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker.
