Last week's Grammys and FireAid concerts collectively raised close to $125 million for wildfire relief in Los Angeles, with the FireAid concert alone contributing $100 million from a significant online audience. Major artists performed, and the funds will be allocated by a grants advisory committee focused on community needs. The Grammys added $24 million from various events, while MusiCares is providing assistance to artists affected by the fires. These initiatives emphasize the music industry's commitment to disaster relief and community support.
In a statement about how the funds will be dispersed, FireAid's organizers said that "The FireAid Grants Advisory Committee, composed of longtime LA-region philanthropic leaders with deep relationships in the non-profit community, have been working to identify key areas of need, for maximum impact."
The event raised a formidable $100 million from an estimated 50 million viewers tuning in across 28 streaming platforms. This includes matching donations from the venues' owner Steve Ballmer and family.
