MusiCares, the Recording Academy’s charity-focused partner organization, has directed over $15 million in relief over the past year to those affected by the wildfires that spread through southern California in early 2025, it announced Wednesday. The fires began one year ago, on Jan. 7, 2025, and continued through Jan. 31. In total, the fires destroyed 16,512 buildings and left more than 525,000 acres burned, according to statistics compiled by Cal Fire.
MusiCares-affiliated events and the Grammy Awards raised a combined $24 million in total for fire relief, the organizations announced in February of last year.
