Movement with a Mission: Reinvesting in Malibu.

Malibu Moves was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that an endurance event should do more than just pass through a city—it should pour back into it. As a locally owned, woman-founded organization, we act as a bridge between our generous participants and the hands-on heroes working to make Malibu a vibrant, resilient, and supportive home for all.

Our Core Pillars

  • Icon of three joyful children with raised arms, representing Malibu youth empowerment and academic support.

    Empowering Our Youth

    We believe the future of Malibu starts with its students. We partner with organizations that provide academic support, mental health resources, and confidence-building programs to ensure every child has the tools to succeed.

    Building Local Resilience

    While the immediate embers of the fires have passed, the work of building a fire-resistant and prepared community is ongoing. We support initiatives that enhance local emergency response and community safety.

  • Icon of two hands shaking, representing partnerships between Malibu Moves and local nonprofit organizations.

    Community Connection

    We identify "boots-on-the-ground" nonprofits that address immediate local needs, from family and business support services to local environmental preservation.

“The Palisades, Broad, and Franklin Fires created a learning crisis in our Malibu public schools, with students losing over 20 days of instruction. MEF is working to close those gaps by funding the staffing, tutoring, and special education support our students need to recover and succeed.”
— Karin Al-Hardan, President, Malibu Education Foundation
