The 2025 LA Wildfires Relief Fund provides assistance to NAMM members, music programs, and music makers affected by the wildfires. This fund was established in response to the fires in the Greater Los Angeles area and their devastating impact on NAMM members, music programs, and music professionals in the area.
“The NAMM Show has been in Anaheim for 49 years; the LA community is our home and our family,” said NAMM President & CEO, John Mlynczak, “NAMM is committed to supporting the relief and recovery of our members and the music makers they serve.”
“The NAMM Foundation exists because of the generosity of the music products industry, and the greater LA community needs us right now,” said NAMM Foundation Executive Director, Julia Rubio, “We know our industry is resilient and we stand ready to work quickly to ensure support reaches those who need it most.”
Needs-based assistance will be provided to NAMM members, employees of NAMM member companies, music education programs, and music makers affected by the January 2025 fires. The NAMM Foundation is currently performing a needs assessment and will provide more information soon on the distribution of an application process for these funds.
