fire relief in Los Angeles County and the surrounding areas
We are currently accepting donations and applications for Assistance
Sweet Relief Musicians Fund is here to provide immediate financial assistance to music industry professionals impacted by natural disasters. Applications will be taken during a short stretch of time surrounding the disaster, but donations are always welcome.
Grants will be issued to those that can show proof of destruction of, or damage to property or music equipment from any sudden, unexpected, or unusual event such as a flood, hurricane, tornado, fire, earthquake or even volcanic eruption. Funds raised will go towards loss of music-related equipment, medical bills related to the event, and other vital-living expenses.
