The Academy of Country Music’s philanthropic arm, ACM Lifting Lives, has unveiled its 2024-2025 grant cycle beneficiaries, funded by Big Machine Label Group (BMLG) Chairman Scott Borchetta and EVP, Creative Sandi Borchetta’s donation through Music Has Value.

Launched in August, this funding cycle and allocation of grants aims to continue ACM Lifting Lives’ history of supporting diverse and impactful organizations that provide music therapy programs. The 2024-2025 recipient organizations work with disadvantaged children, individuals with special needs, individuals with memory loss, school programs, those fighting illnesses and more across the country in states like Tennessee, California, Texas, New York and Washington.

The 10 memory care-focused recipients consist of Abe’s Garden Community, Care Dimensions, Higher Octave Healing, Iris Collective, Key Chorale Inc., Magnolia Memory Care, MultiCare Health Foundation, Music for Seniors, Musicians On Call (MOC) and West Falls Center for the Arts. Additional recipients include Amped Kids Foundation, Children’s Eye Foundation, Country Music Foundation, Love Learning Music, Multiple Sclerosis Achievement Center, Northern Westchester Hospital Association, Perfect Harmony Health, Rock to Recovery, The Angel Band Project and the Texas Supremacy of Music & Arts Conservatory (TSMAC).

“I’m reminded daily that music is a powerful force—not only for enjoyment, but also for reaching hearts and minds in a way that other things can’t. ACM Lifting Lives is honored to announce the newest grant recipients, who are harnessing music’s power for therapeutic means,” shares Taylor Wolf, ACM Lifting Lives Senior Manager. “These worthy organizations continue to make an impact on so many people nationwide through their essential work, and thanks to the incredible support from Music Has Value, we’re thrilled to expand our support to memory care programs, specifically.”

“We are honored to be able to continue the mission of Music Has Value by working with ACM Lifting Lives and their grant recipients. Our shared vision and mission align greatly, and we look forward to spreading the healing power of music together,” express the Borchettas.
