\n\tPeople watching the 67th annual Grammy Awards, which aired three months ago today, contributed nearly $10 million for Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts. MusiCares reports that that money has made its way to recipients across the region, helping both music professionals and the broader local population affected by the horrific event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tMusiCares has distributed $6,125,000 to more than 3,100 music professionals across Los Angeles. In addition, $3,969,005 has been directed to three community-based organizations: California Community Foundation, Direct Relief and Pasadena Community Foundation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0In addition to the $10 million contributed by Grammy telecast viewers, MusiCares and the Recording Academy raised another $16 million during Grammy weekend thanks to the MusiCares Fire Relief campaign and the annual Persons of the Year gala, which this year honored the Grateful Dead<\/a>. MusiCares has allocated $6 million of that $16 million to long-term fire relief efforts, while the other $10 million from Persons of the Year gala\u00a0will be used for MusiCares\u2019 year-round mission delivery.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe music community does amazing things when it comes together,\u201d Harvey Mason jr.<\/a>, Recording Academy and MusiCares CEO, said in a statement. \u201cThis outpouring of love and support was humbling, whether it was performing or participating on the show, making contributions or donating their time and items for fundraisers. We are grateful for this amazing community and the Grammy viewers who felt inspired to give.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLaura Segura, executive director of MusiCares, added: \u201cWhat moved us most in the days following the Grammy telecast wasn\u2019t just the scale of support, it was the spirit behind it. Thousands of people gave what they could, and together, their generosity became a lifeline for those in crisis, which reached far beyond our industry. That\u2019s why we partnered with trusted community organizations who are helping Angelenos across the region access the care, resources and support they need to rebuild.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMusiCares reports that the median contribution during the Grammy telecast was $53.50.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Grammy telecast, which was held less than a month after the wildfires broke out on Jan. 7, included several segments dedicated to raising awareness of the crisis. Two of the night\u2019s performances were specifically inspired by the events \u2013 Dawes<\/a>\u2019 opening performance of Randy Newman<\/a>\u2019s \u201cI Love L.A.\u201d and Bruno Mars<\/a> and Lady Gaga<\/a> bypassing their own nominated smash \u201cDie With a Smile\u201d to perform the Mamas & the Papas<\/a>\u2019 \u201cCalifornia Dreamin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile MusiCares responded within days of the fire\u2019s outbreak to provide immediate assistance, the long-term needs of music professionals are only now coming into sharper focus. From loss of work and instruments to the emotional toll of displacement and trauma, the wildfire tragedy continues to affect lives.\u00a0MusiCares continues to provide aid through customized case management, mental health support and financial assistance to those with lasting need.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tMusiCares Fire Relief funding comes from multiple sources, of which the Grammy telecast was the largest. Fire Relief distributions are made as part of an independent and confidential client case management model overseen by MusiCares. \u00a0MusiCares expects many more millions to be distributed over the coming year as they continue to serve the fire victims.<\/p>\n

\n\tTo address the broader community impact beyond the music industry, MusiCares and the Recording Academy partnered with three organizations already embedded in the neighborhoods hardest hit by the fires. Here are quotes from leaders in those organizations on the status of recovery efforts.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tCalifornia Community Foundation (CCF)\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\u201cRecovery isn\u2019t just about rebuilding homes,\u201d said president and CEO Miguel Santana. \u201cPeople who lost their homes also lost schools, churches, stores \u2014 the places that connected them to their neighbors to form the community they treasured. As we bring activity back to places like a park, a church, or a school, people can re-connect as a community. Those chances to be together can give people strength and hope as they continue the difficult process of rebuilding their individual lives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\tDirect Relief<\/strong>\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\u201cRecovery from wildfires involves more than rebuilding physical infrastructure\u2014it requires addressing complex social challenges such as housing instability, food insecurity, and healthcare disparities,\u201d said Dr. Byron Scott, CEO. \u201cCommunity health centers and free and charitable clinics serve as vital anchors, providing not just medical care but comprehensive support including mental health counseling, housing assistance, and nutritional services.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\tPasadena Community Foundation (PCF)\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\u201cNonprofits in Pasadena, Altadena, and Sierra Madre have been our partners on the ground for more than 70 years,\u201d said Jeannine Bogaard, VP of community impact.\u00a0\u201cThroughout the last three months, PCF has seen these organizations meet the moment in countless ways\u2014disbursing cash assistance and emergency supplies, securing stable housing, addressing the unique challenges of older adults, rescuing and tending to lost and injured pets, and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n
