"We are so thankful to this founding group of organizational supporters who recognize that MusiCares is a shared service of the entire music community. It takes an industry-wide commitment to take care of those amongst us in most need" Laura Segura, Executive Director of MusiCares, said. "The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how quickly life can change and how much MusiCares is relied upon. Annual support from these donors allow us to be prepared to scale in times of crisis, but also expand our current services to reach more industry professionals and support early intervention."
