Financial Assistance

When music professionals experience unforeseen circumstances and subsequent financial hardship, MusiCares steps in and provides financial assistance for basic living needs including rent/mortgage, utilities, insurance premiums and more. When a music pro is impacted by an unexpected loss of work, injury or illness and other case specific circumstances, MusiCares staff works one on one with individuals and their families to determine how we might be of support and a connector to other community resources or entertainment relief organizations. 

MusiCares understands that navigating healthcare costs can be overwhelming, especially for individuals with limited or lack of health insurance.  We provide financial assistance for medical needs, dental treatment, and health insurance premiums. 

For many music professionals, instruments and gear are vital to their livelihoods. When essential tools are stolen or damaged, MusiCares covers the cost of repair or replacement so musicians can get back to making music. 

MusiCares is committed  to supporting music professionals during life’s most difficult moments. Funeral needs can be overwhelming, both financially and emotionally. MusiCares may cover funeral, burial, or cremation costs for music professionals and their immediate families.
