Eva Longoria has increased her initial $50,000 donation for Los Angeles fire relief and recovery to $1 million. The 49-year-old actress and entrepreneur — who has evacuated her SoCal home — will support the Latino Community Foundation and the California Community Foundation with the generous contribution.

The organizations have pledged to assist in the immediate and long-term recuperation of the communities impacted by the weeklong wildfires that have ravaged the city. Tens of thousands of residents have been forced to vacate their homes since the infernos sparked last Tuesday.

Longoria's new $1 million donation is from the Courage and Civility Award presented to her by Jeff Bezos last March. Bezos' annual monetary prize of $50 million is given to those who make substantial contributions to society. Longoria has a decade to name a charity to which she'll donate the money, and now she's chosen LA's fire recovery as the first recipient, per The Hollywood Reporter.
She will say more about her donation when she appears as co-host alongside Jenna Bush Hager on Jenna & Friends this Tuesday. Following the co-hosting gig Eva will return to Los Angeles, where she will volunteer with Global Empowerment Mission and pay a visit to World Central Kitchen’s Eaton Fire operations.
