Paris Hilton has launched a new national fund to help women-owned small businesses recover after disasters
By GABRIELA AOUN ANGUEIRA March 9, 2026, 8:04 AM
The pop culture star, advocate and entrepreneur Paris Hilton launched an initiative Monday to support female small-business owners impacted by disasters, a nationwide expansion of her philanthropic support for women entrepreneurs after the 2025 Los Angeles fires.
Hilton is donating $350,000 to kick-start the Back in Business Recovery Fund, with a goal to raise at least $1 million by the end of March.
Women-owned businesses are really the heart of so many of these communities, Hilton told The Associated Press. I want to be able to lift up and support them, shine a light on them and really make a difference in their lives.
The new initiative will be a partnership between Hilton's social impact organization 11:11 Media Impact and GoFundMe.org, which is the philanthropic arm of the fundraising platform GoFundMe and will contribute $100,000 to the funds launch.
