Bandcamp To Donate Entire Proceeds To Musicares For Wildfire Relief Fundraiser.
Bandcamp, the artist-first platform supporting independent music, is coming together with its music community to aid musicians affected by the Southern California wildfires. On February 7th, from midnight to midnight PST, 100% of Bandcamp’s proceeds will be donated to MusiCares. Offering preventive, emergency, and recovery programs, MusiCares is a safety net supporting the health and welfare of the music community.
“We are deeply appreciative of the significant support from the Bandcamp community and their partners. This generosity will help us continue providing vital resources and assistance to music people in need, and we are truly grateful for the community’s commitment to making a difference,” said Laura Segura, Executive Director at MusiCares.
Bandcamp statement: We’ve been heartbroken to witness how the wildfires in Southern California impacted thousands of lives, including many in our community of artists, labels and fans. Thousands of people, including members of our own music community, have lost their homes and livelihoods.
We believe in the power of music to make a difference, so on February 7th, from midnight to midnight PST, 100% of Bandcamp’s proceeds will be donated to MusiCares.
MusiCares provides vital assistance to the people behind the music, offering emergency financial support, mental health services, and essential healthcare. Your purchases on this day will directly contribute to this cause.

A2IM is a key advocate for independent music in the U.S., and WIN represents the global independent music community. These partnerships amplify the fundraiser’s reach and impact. Together, we’re united in helping the creative community rebuild and thrive during this challenging time.
