MusiCares Donates More Than $15 million To Los Angeles Fire Relief Efforts


One year after the wildfires in Los Angeles communities, MusiCares has directed more than $15 million toward fire relief efforts. This includes $7 million deployed in the immediate aftermath of the fires to address urgent needs, along with ongoing recovery support. In total, over 3,200 music professionals have been reached through direct financial assistance, health and wellness services and long-term recovery throughout the region.

“Recovery does not happen on a fixed schedule,” says Theresa Wolters, Executive Director of MusiCares. “We continue to hear from people who have been in survival mode for nearly a year, rebuilding homes, juggling displacement, trying to keep working, and only now able to focus on their own health and stability. That delayed need is a very real part of disaster recovery.”
