Guitar Center is providing significant support to the Los Angeles music community affected by the recent wildfires. The retailer’s Guitar Center Music Foundation will accept applications for special one-time grants to replace instruments and/or gear, with a deadline of February 28th, 2025.
This initiative is exclusively available to Los Angeles-based musicians and music instruction programs. MusiCares, a well-known organization, also offers assistance with instrument replacement and repair, as well as various long-term services for impacted musicians.
MusiCares is providing $1,500 in financial relief and $500 grocery cards to eligible music professionals. Guitar Center is further supporting the cause by launching an “All for LA” edition of its Protect Live Music t-shirts, with 100% of proceeds going towards MusiCares’ Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort.
