MISSION - WHAT WE DO

MusiCares helps the humans behind music because music gives so much to the world. Offering preventive, emergency, and recovery programs, MusiCares is a safety net supporting the health and welfare of the music community. Founded by the Recording Academy in 1989 as a U.S. based, independent 501(c)(3) charity, MusiCares safeguards the well-being of all music people through direct financial grant programs, networks of support resources, and tailored crisis relief efforts.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Financial Assistance MusiCares provides the following programs to the music community: emergency financial assistance grants, health and human service referrals, counseling, educational workshops, panels/presentations, health fairs, and three regional toll-free help lines. Addiction Recovery MusiCares provides emergency financial assistance to individuals within the music community facing addiction. This program provides funds, placement, and referrals for inpatient treatment, sober living, and more. MusiCares also provides free recovery resources like support groups, workshops, and panels, as well as 12-Step meetings backstage at music festivals and Narcan training to prevent overdose. Healthy Essentials Many MusiCares clients face high out-of-pocket expenses for general medical care. A number of them admit to not having seen a doctor or a dentist in years. Our Healthy Essentials program presents a broad spectrum of primary care services at free monthly artists’ clinics. Services include flu shots, hearing tests, medical screenings, mammograms, and full dental examinations. Through innovative relationships with medical partners, we have been able to provide any necessary follow-up care free-of-charge or at significantly discounted rates. Healthy Essentials also presents a series of free educational workshops that cover topics of specific concern to music professionals such as financial wellness, legacy planning, health insurance, substance abuse, and vocal and hearing health. Preventative care is the most highly sought after service among MusiCares clients: “We have health insurance but it doesn't cover the costs of routine care. It has been literally a decade since I have been to see a doctor. You have no idea how much your help and support means to me and my family…” We actively seek collaborative opportunities with local and national community organizations to extend our services. Our resources are maximized through partnerships with American Mobile Dental, the Country Doctor Community Clinic, Emory Voice Clinic, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary's Voice and Swallowing Institute, Starkey Hearing Foundation, Vanderbilt Voice Center, and individual healthcare specialists.
