EqualizeHer Donates $25K To FAM Grant
EqualizeHer has made a $25,000 contribution to fund FAM’s Family Support Grant.
“FAM has a deep belief that progress happens when caregivers are given the support, visibility, and community they need to thrive,” shares Haley Montgomery, Co-founder of Family Alliance in Music. “This partnership with EqualizeHer allows us to do just that by directly investing in caregivers whose contributions make the industry stronger and more sustainable.”
“We founded EqualizeHer with the goal of creating more opportunities for women in music, an industry where women’s voices and talents deserve greater recognition,” adds Alisha Ballard, Co-founder of EqualizeHer. “Too often music professionals put their careers on hold to navigate the challenges or caregiving, parenting, and family life. We are proud to support Family Alliance in Music and their pursuit of supporting music professionals and helping them make their careers a reality.”
The FAM grant supports parents and caregivers working in all areas of the music business, including artists, songwriters, crew, managers, executives, and small business owners, who face challenges balancing work and family life. The grant prioritizes fertility assistance, needs-based support for touring professionals facing family-related hardship, family caregiving assistance, and small business initiatives that create family-supportive employee benefits.
Applications for the Family Support Grant are open now (Nov. 26) through Dec. 1 at 11:59 p.m. CST. Recipients will be notified in mid-January 2026. Full guidelines and the application form are available here.
